NOTICES REGARDING MEAT INSPECTION APPROVAL OF CLOTH CONTAINERS The approval of printed matter on cloth containers may be accepted as au­ thority for the use of proportionate enlargements. Rulings obviating the neces­ sity of individual approval in cases involving merely dissimilarity in figures or qualifications pertaining to statement of quantity are equally applicable to cloth containers. APPROVAL OF INSERTS Referring to Regulation 17, section 2, paragraph 3, B. A. I. Order 211 (re­ vised), relative to the approval of inserts, the term "insert" as therein used is intended to include only materials bearing direct reference to the meat or products which they accompany. Accordingly, no specific approval is re­ quired of inserts bearing no reference to meat or meat food products or those which advertise meat or meat food products in general and which probably will not be construed as pertaining specifically to th~ accompanyino- product. If a proposed insert bears any statement pertaining to meat or meat food products which is false or misleading, or in case of doubt as to the scope of this ruling in relation to any particular insert, a copy of the insert should be submitted to the Washington office for a ·pecific ruling, pending which its distribution in containers of meat or meat food products should be deferred. Materials bearing copies or reproductions of the inspection legend must be approved in accordanee with the specific terms of the regulations. * Conducts slaughtering. • 192ti] ~ERVICE AKD REGULA 'TORT ANNO N CEME "T 35 EXPORT CERTIFICATES IN QUADRUPLICATE' FOR CANADA AND MEXICO Export certificates· for meat and meat food products destined to points in the Dominion of Canada and the Republic of Mexico should be issued in quadruplicate in order to comply with the requirements of the respective foreign governments. Quadruplicate copies of export certificates will be furnished upon request of inspector in charge who expect exportations from their tations to the countries mention d. P ORK LIVERS FOR EXPORT TO FRANCE Information has been received from the French Government to the effect that pork livers are eligible for importation into France only when destined to pate de foie gras factories in the Paris region, specially approved for this purpo e by the Prefecture of Police, and therefore can be sold only after they have been cooked. Also, as they do not react ,vell to freezing at a very low temperature and liquefy when thawed out, they are not subject to th con­ dition specified in connection with the importation of frozen meat from the nited States.
