Remove the 65-10 Rule for Canned Tripe and Milk

The Food Safety and Inspection Service is deleting a regulation that defined the exact composition of canned “Tripe with Milk.” Under the old rule, every can had to contain at least 65 percent tripe and no less than 10 percent milk.
Why it matters: This is primarily an administrative cleanup. The old percentage requirement was carried over from earlier food standards without a clear justification, and keeping it only limited how producers could formulate their products. Removing it gives food manufacturers a small amount of flexibility to adjust recipes or pricing without changing the actual safety or inspection requirements. If you are not in the canned meat business, this will not affect your daily life.
