An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to prohibiting the rewrapping, repackaging or recycling of meat and poultry contained in a wrapping or packaging labeled with a first sale date and/or last sell-by date, prohibiting the changing of any such dates, and requiring that the period from the first sale date to last sell-by date as so labeled be no more than three days

Purpose/summary of provisions

An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to prohibiting the re-wrapping, repackaging, or recycling of meat and poultry contained in a wrapping or packaging labeled with a first sale date and/or last sell-by date, prohibiting the changing of any such dates, and requiring that the period from the first sale date to last sell-by date as so labeled be no more than three days.
