§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

States and DC may not make extra or different rules about the buildings, equipment, or daily operations of food plants that are inspected under federal rules. They also may not add or change rules about marking, labeling, packaging, or ingredients for food made at those inspected plants. They can, however, require recordkeeping and similar duties if those match the federal recordkeeping rules under section 642. States and DC may work with the federal government to stop contaminated or mislabeled food from being sold for people to eat after it leaves an inspected plant, or to control imported food after it enters the United States. States may also make other rules that do not conflict with the federal law.
