Sec. 678. Non-Federal jurisdiction of federally regulated 
        matters; prohibition of additional or different requirements for 
        establishments with inspection services and as to marking, 
        labeling, packaging, and ingredients; recordkeeping and related 
        requirements; concurrent jurisdiction over distribution for

    Requirements within the scope of this chapter with respect to 
premises, facilities and operations of any establishment at which 
inspection is provided under subchapter I of this chapter, which are in 
addition to, or different than those made under this chapter may not be 
imposed by any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, except 
that any such jurisdiction may impose recordkeeping and other 
requirements within the scope of section 642 of this title, if 
consistent therewith, with respect to any such establishment. Marking, 
labeling, packaging, or ingredient requirements in addition to, or 
different than, those made under this chapter may not be imposed by any 
State or Territory or the District of Columbia with respect to articles 
prepared at any establishment under inspection in accordance with the 
requirements under subchapter I of this chapter, but any State or 
Territory or the District of Columbia may, consistent with the 
requirements under this chapter, exercise concurrent jurisdiction with 
the Secretary over articles required to be inspected under said 
subchapter I, for the purpose of preventing the distribution for human 
food purposes of any such articles which are adulterated or misbranded 
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. This chapter shall not preclude any State or 
Territory or the District of Columbia from making requirement \1\ or 
taking other action, consistent with this chapter, with respect to any 
other matters regulated under this chapter.

    \1\ So in original. Probably should be ``requirements''.
