The U.S. Federal Government\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\tDeregulates French Dressing

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is tossing its definition of French dressing.

When the FDA established its standard 72 years ago, French dressing was one of just three dressings recognized by the agency. The other two were mayonnaise and “salad dressing.” Many different types of salad dressings—Italian, Ranch, Caesar and Blue cheese—were available for consumers and not affected by the same kind of standardization, the organization said.

“Food products with the name French dressing will continue to be available to consumers,” the FDA said in response, according to its filing with the Federal Register, set to publish Thursday. The FDA doesn’t use the standards of identity as a tool very often currently, said Diana R. H. Winters, deputy director of the Resnick Center for Food Law and Policy at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law. And this change in particular may not have a huge impact on what products are available on the shelves already.Bebeto Matthews/Associated Press

The decadeslong delay between the petition to change the standard of identity and the actual rule change is frustrating, she said. “It shows both the workings of the FDA—that its wheels are turning, but extraordinarily slowly and in a way that is somewhat inexplicable,” she said.

Finally the American people are free from our government's tyranny over what we can call French dressing. Mark this day, we are truly a free nation now.
