Action:
Repeal of 2 VAC 5-590
Action 6686
 
General Information
Action Summary The agency has determined that the repeal of this regulation is appropriate because the essential elements to ensure that ground beef products contain no more than the maximum allowable fat content and that ground beef products marketed in Virginia are accurately represented to the consumer are adequately covered by the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (Chapter III of Title 9 Code of Federal Regulations) and by the prohibitions on adulterated and misbranded food included in the Virginia Food and Drink Law (Chapter 51 of Title 3.2 of the Code of Virginia).
