  <title><![CDATA[  Product Labeling: Definition of the Term ``Natural'' ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2006-12-05-06-9546</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is announcing 
receipt of a petition from Hormel Foods to establish a definition for 
the voluntary claim ``natural'' and to delineate the conditions under 
which the claim can be used on the labels of meat and poultry products. 
The use of the claim ``natural'' is an issue of significant interest to 
the Agency, to industry, and to the public. Therefore, the Agency is 
inviting comments on the issue generally and on the petition and, to 
facilitate the comment process, is announcing that it will hold a 
public meeting to discuss the petition. After the comment period 
closes, FSIS will initiate rulemaking on the claim ``natural.'' The 
Agency has decided to initiate rulemaking because it is the most 
appropriate, open, and transparent method to deal with issues 
surrounding the definition and use of the claim ``natural.''
