Texas Health and Safety Code - HEALTH & SAFETY § 433.043. Standards of Labeling, Composition, and Fill

(a) If the executive commissioner determines that standards are necessary to protect the public, the executive commissioner may adopt rules prescribing:

(b) A standard prescribed under Subsection (a)(2) must be consistent with standards established under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. Section 601 et seq.), the Federal Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. Section 451 et seq.), and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. Section 301 et seq.). To avoid inconsistency, the department shall consult with the United States Secretary of Agriculture before the standard is prescribed.
