This page exists because these joins exist. A class name that joined to nothing would not have a page.
US standard of identity
No section of 9 CFR part 319 defines this product. That is worth knowing: it means the name carries no compositional guarantee in the United States, and two products sold under it may have been made quite differently.
Protected names in this class
Buying it
The southern Italian name for the dry-cured neck. It is also one of the products named in the withdrawn 9 CFR 318.10 list of items that required a prescribed trichinae treatment, alongside coppa, which is the closest the United States ever came to defining it.
What to read on the label. A US-made capocollo is made under federal or state inspection to a process the plant validated. The word itself carries no compositional guarantee here.
Worth repeating in a buying context: no section of 9 CFR part 319 defines this product, so in the United States the word on the front of the pack is a marketing term. The compositional statements that are regulated are the ones on the back, in the ingredient list and the nutrition panel.
This is not a protected designation. The listing below is a product of this type, not a registered name. The register entries for this class are listed above and none of them is what is linked here.
