Which exemption threshold applies to cooked poultry meat?

• A. Meat of poultry <2%
• B. Raw meat <3%
• C. Cooked meat of poultry <2%
• D. Tallow <30%

Answer: (C)

Exemption thresholds in meat product regulation specify how much meat can be present in a product before it must meet standard meat-poultry labeling rules. The amount is measured as a percentage of the finished product by weight, and the form of the meat matters because cooking changes weight and composition. For cooked poultry meat, the threshold is 2%. This means if a product contains less than 2% cooked poultry meat, it can be exempt from certain poultry labeling requirements. If the amount of cooked poultry meat exceeds 2%, it would fall under the standard labeling and identity rules for poultry products. The other options don’t fit this specific exemption rule: raw meat and fats like tallow have different thresholds or are not the exemptions described for cooked poultry meat.
