The Food and Drug Administration has published a correction to a final rule it issued on April 16, 2026. That earlier document contained mistakes in the instructions for updating specific sections of the Code of Federal Regulations regarding new animal drugs. This new notice fixes those clerical errors so the rules are applied correctly.
Why it matters: This is a minor administrative fix. It ensures that the regulations governing these animal medicines are clear and legally accurate. If left uncorrected, the confusion could cause issues for companies manufacturing or labeling these drugs.
Who it affects
- Veterinarians prescribing lincomycin for pigs, chickens, or bees
This correction was issued by the Food and Drug Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services; you should check the original Federal Register document for the full legal text.
