What Does PLAS Stand For?

PLAS stands for Prior Label Approval System FSIS

PLAS, or Prior Label Approval System FSIS, is a regulatory framework implemented by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) to ensure that all labeling for meat, poultry, and processed egg products meets federal standards before being used in marketing and distribution. This system facilitates compliance with safety and labeling regulations, streamlining the approval process for manufacturers while maintaining consumer protection and transparency.
