At-Risk Consumer Protection Through Food Safety Labeling Act

Summary

At-Risk Consumer Protection Through Food Safety Labeling Act - Amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act to define and establish at-risk consumer labeling requirements for a "ready-to-eat poultry product," and a "ready-to-eat meat product." Defines "at-risk consumer" to include pregnant women. Exempts from such requirements: (1) a producer with a scientifically validated Listeria monocytogene control program for low- and higher-risk products; and (2) a distributor whose purchasing specifications or suppliers are in compliance with such requirements. Deems a ready-to-eat product as misbranded if required to, but not having, such labeling.
