Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify turkey content exceeds 50% and include detailed ingredient lists on labeling to meet FDA and USDA standards for prepared poultry meals

• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'single ingredient' which shifts to other subheadings; ensure 'prepared meal' status is clear
