Implant Labeling Changes Coming in June 2023
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is updating information to beef cattle producers concerning a group of growth-promoting implant products (implants) that do not specify on the labeling whether reimplantation is approved. Reimplantation across production phases is not affected by these pending label changes. Beef cattle are and will still be allowed to receive multiple implants across different phases of production when using implants approved for that specific phase. Cattle can also receive more than one implant within a production phase, but only if that implant is approved for repeated administration. Read more.
