SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In the
Federal Register
of July 17, 2025 (90 FR 33268), FDA issued a direct final rule revoking 11 standards of identity for canned fruits and vegetable products that are no longer sold in the United States. FDA took this action as these standards are no longer necessary to promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers, and this action will remove obsolete rules to reduce unnecessary regulatory requirements. The direct final rule provided a 30-day comment period ending August 18, 2025. We stated that the effective date of the direct final rule would be September 22, 2025, unless we received a significant adverse comment during the comment period. We did not receive any significant adverse comments. Therefore, the effective date of the direct final rule is September 22, 2025.
Authority
21 U.S.C. 321, 341, 343, 348, 371, 379e. Accordingly, the revocations issued thereby are effective on September 22, 2025.

Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Legislation, and International Affairs.
