WASHINGTON, July 17 -- Food and Drug Administration has issued a proposed rule called: Revocation of Food Standards for 11 Products Not Currently Sold.

The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on July 17 by Robert F. Kennedy, Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services.

Summary: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is proposing to revoke 11 food standards for foods that are no longer sold in the United States. FDA is taking this action as we tentatively conclude these standards are no longer necessary to promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers. This action, if finalized, will remove obsolete rules to possibly reduce unnecessary regulatory requirements.
