Product Name Qualifers in Secondary Products

Product name qualifiers, e.g., "binders added," are not required on secondary products with labeling, with the exception of the statement "Calcium Propionate Added to Retard Spoilage of Crust" on pizza labeling. Secondary products are those meal like products that contain a multi-ingredient meat or poultry component, e.g., "Lemon Pepper Seasoned Chicken Breast with Rib Meat, Binders Added in 'Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast with Vegetable Medley.'" The characteristics of the meat or poultry added ingredients, are disclose in the ingredients statement.
