Requirements within the scope of this chapter with respect to premises, facilities and operations of any [official establishment](/usc/21/453.md?p=p) which are in addition to, or different than those made under this chapter may not be imposed by any [State](/usc/21/453.md?p=b) or [Territory](/usc/21/453.md?p=c) or the District of Columbia, except that any such jurisdiction may impose recordkeeping and other requirements within the scope of paragraph (b) of [section 460 of this title](/usc/21/460.md), if consistent therewith, with respect to any such establishment. Marking, [labeling](/usc/21/453.md?p=s), packaging, or ingredient requirements (or storage or handling requirements found by the [Secretary](/usc/21/453.md?p=i) to unduly interfere with the free flow of [poultry products](/usc/21/453.md?p=f) in [commerce](/usc/21/453.md?p=a)) in addition to, or different than, those made under this chapter may not be imposed by any [State](/usc/21/453.md?p=b) or [Territory](/usc/21/453.md?p=c) or the District of Columbia with respect to articles prepared at any [official establishment](/usc/21/453.md?p=p) in accordance with the requirements under this chapter, but any [State](/usc/21/453.md?p=b) or [Territory](/usc/21/453.md?p=c) or the District of Columbia may, consistent with the requirements under this chapter exercise concurrent jurisdiction with the [Secretary](/usc/21/453.md?p=i) over articles required to be inspected under this chapter for the purpose of preventing the distribution for human food purposes of any such articles which are [adulterated](/usc/21/453.md?p=g) or [misbranded](/usc/21/453.md?p=h) and are outside of such an establishment, or, in the case of imported articles which are not at such an establishment, after their entry into the [United States](/usc/21/453.md?p=d). This chapter shall not preclude any [State](/usc/21/453.md?p=b) or [Territory](/usc/21/453.md?p=c) or the District of Columbia from making requirement or taking other action, consistent with this chapter, with respect to any other matters regulated under this chapter.
