Guys, we need to demand country of origin labeling on our beef products! Under regulations Trump inherited from the Obama Administration, the beef you find in a local grocery store can be labeled ‘Product of USA’ as long as it was packaged here. So it could have been born, raised and slaughtered virtually anywhere.
Let’s say half a carcass of beef arrives from Uruguay. A U.S. packer can cut that carcass up in a U.S. packing plant, and label it “Product of USA.” Worse, if a packer unwraps the meat and simply rewraps it, it can be labeled that same “Product of USA.” So what can be done? With a stroke of his pen, President Trump has the power to mandate all meat is labeled with its country of origin. This would SAVE the American cattle industry from foreign crap beef imports!
