U.S. and Canada Harmonize Names of Meat Cuts to Facilitate Trade The U.S. and Canada have agreed to harmonize the terminology used for wholesale meat cuts. Both countries will adopt the U.S. Institutional Meat Purchase Specifications (IMPS) as the standard meat nomenclature. Establishing the IMPS as the foundation of a North American approach.

Nomenclature Differences and Effect on Trade Currently, trade between the two countries can be hindered due to cut names and labeling requirements. The Canadian meat classification system is based on a regulatory document known as the Meat Cuts Manual. The United States uses the IMPS, a set of voluntary standards maintained by AMS. Large volume purchasers such as Federal, state and local government agencies, schools, restaurants, hotels, and other food service users reference the IMPS. There are similarities in the cut descriptions and names, but are not inclusive and omit certain cuts with differing names.

Pilot Program for Harmonizing Names between U.S. and Canada As of February 24, 2014, selected meat cut names can be used interchangeably with their Canadian equivalent. The full list of applicable meat cut names is listed in the IMPS. Consumers will not be impacted as it only applies to wholesale cuts of meat.

FSIS Role at the Affected Establishments OPPD and OFO will coordinate communication to the District Offices through correlations and other messages from the OFO AA to ensure awareness about the list of meat cut names. Inspectors are still required to continue the normal label verification tasks they already undertake. OFO personnel are aware of these labeling changes and they know NOT to give an NR if they come across one of these terms during their normal checks.

U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) In early 2011, U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) was created. Established to accelerate trade and travel between the two nations. Will develop clear, consistent standards to identify products to make it easier for industries to do business on both sides of the border. Website:
