US health regulators remove food standards for 11 products no one sells anymore

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has officially canceled food standards for 11 products. These products are no longer sold in the United States, so the rules were obsolete.

Governments create thousands of rules over decades. Many of these rules become irrelevant as markets change. This action is a small example of regulators cleaning up old rules that no longer serve a purpose. It removes unnecessary paperwork for both the agency and any potential future food producers.
