Sec. 317.343  Significant participation for voluntary nutrition labeling.

    (a) In evaluating significant participation for voluntary nutrition 
labeling, FSIS will consider only the major cuts of single-ingredient, 
raw meat products, as identified in Sec. 317.344, including those that 
have been previously frozen.
    (b) FSIS will judge a food retailer to be participating at a 
significant level if the retailer provides nutrition labeling 
information for at least 90 percent of the major cuts of single-
ingredient, raw meat products, listed in Sec. 317.344, that it sells, 
and if the nutrition label is consistent in content and format with the 
mandatory program, or nutrition information is displayed at point-of-
purchase in an approriate manner.
    (c) To determine whether there is significant participation by 
retailers under the voluntary nutrition labeling guidelines, FSIS will 
select a representative sample of companies allocated by type and size.
    (d) FSIS will find that significant participation by food retailers 
exists if at least 60 percent of all companies that are evaluated are 
participating in accordance with the guidelines.
    (e) FSIS will evaluate significant participation of the voluntary 
program every 2 years beginning in May 1995.
    (1) If significant participation is found, the voluntary nutrition 
labeling guidelines shall remain in effect.
    (2) If significant participation is not found, FSIS shall initiate 
rulemaking to require nutrition labeling on those products under the 
voluntary program.
