CPG Sec 525.750 Spices - Definitions

Description

No definitions for standards of identity for spices have been established in accordance with Section 401 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Advisory standards were issued in 1918 as Food Inspection Decision (FID) 172, under the Food and Drugs Act of 1906. These defined the collective term "spices" and described a number of specific foods classified as spices. These underwent several revisions, the latest having appeared as Service and Regulatory Announcement (SRA) F.D. No. 2, Revision 5, November 1936. These advisory standards provided substantial guidance to the food industry concerning acceptable labeling of spices or flavorings, and foods in which these were used. At the same time they were useful as guides to regulatory officials, under both the 1906 Food and Drugs Act and 1938 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
