Dear List,
Have a question on COOL.
We are a food manufacturing and USDA inspected plant. We do produce seafood
products. We purchase seafood from vendor and add addition ingredient on
seafood. For example: Stuffing cheese on Shrimp (Ready to Cook), Shrimp
with Sun Dried Tomato Sauce (Ready to Eat product, shrimp cook in plant).
Products for Restaurant / Hotel (institution use only). NOT FOR RETAIL.
My qeustion is do I need to declare the following statement on my product
label.
a) Labeling of country of original
b) Labeling Wild or Farm Raised
Regards,
Cindy
Customcraft Food Service
