Default FDA approved label. OR confusion?

I am working on getting my rub into my local meat market. They are interested, but they keep mentioning needing an FDA approved label.

To the best of my knowledge FDA doesn't approve labels, even though have there labeling guidelines and requirements. My understanding it's the USDA, that approves a label for a meat based product and puts there stamp on it correct?

So are they just asking if my label meets the FDA requirements, or is there an actual approval Process that I am unaware of?

I have my state food manufacture license, the facility is registered with the FDA, label meets font size and label requirements, for ingredient statement and there no allergens or health claims being made, I am insured. To the best of my knowledge I am doing everything right.

Being it's my hometown meat market, I wouldreally like to get in there.
