Description:  TITLE: French Dressing; Revocation of a Standard of Identity  
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS  
ACTION: Final rule  
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is revoking the  standard of identity for 
French dressing. This action, in part,  responds to a citizen petition submitted by the Association 
for Dressings and Sauces (ADS). We conclude that this standard no longer  promotes honesty  and 
fair dealing in the interest of consumers.  Revocation of the standard of identity for French dressing 
will provide  greater flexibility in the product's manufacture, consistent with  comparable, 
nonstandardized foods available in the marketplace.
