It is only necessary for the operator to send an updated label for our files together with a photocopy of application forms indicating the registration as a reference. This only applies to a label that has received a registration number and that had no change made to the mandatory information. Flashes are permitted provided they do not obliterate any of the mandatory information. The submission and registration procedures for foreign labels, from firms approved for export of meat products to Canada, are basically the same as those described in 7.5.2 .
Unit deals directly with the firm or the firm's representative.
In the case of a prepared meat product, the product formulation and the method of preparation shall be submitted in duplicate on company letterhead, signed and dated by a company official. All modifications and notes added afterwards to these documents will have to be clearly identified. The formulation must be complete and the method of preparation shall be outlined in detail. Total protein and meat product protein percentages shall be provided for standardized meat products for which minimum percentages are prescribed. The list of ingredients and the method of preparation on that copy are considered as official.
