§678 Non-federal Jurisdiction of Federally Regulated Matters; Prohibition of Additional or Different Requirements for Establishments with Inspection Services and as to Marking, Labeling, Packaging, and Ingredients; Recordkeeping and Related Requirements; Concurrent Jurisdiction Over Distribution for Human Food Purposes of Adulterated or Misbranded and Imported Articles; Other Matters

Summary

Stops states, territories, and D.C. from making rules about buildings, equipment, or how a federally inspected plant runs if those rules are different from or add to the federal rules. They can still require recordkeeping and some other things under section 642, but only if those requirements fit with the federal rules. States also cannot set different rules on marking, labeling, packaging, or ingredients for products made in federally inspected plants. States may, though, work with the federal government to stop unsafe or mislabeled food from being sold outside those plants or, for imports not at a plant, after they enter the United States. States may also take other actions that are consistent with the federal rules.
