Actually it does not.
Store free to label the meat and I imagine will do so as there is incentive for it
I don’t think it precludes placing a sticker that says “ 100% USA raised BEEF!”
We raise and butcher our own here!
Best Beef you ever tasted!
I go out to the field, pick the cow have it sent to the butcher. Or I go to a friends farm, pick out the chickens and dress them myself. I know exactly what my meat is coming from.
>> Lawmakers said they had no choice but to get rid of the labels after the WTO repeatedly ruled against them...
WTF!
A side curiosity: is Tyson having China package its homegrown chicken?
Don’t Canadians and Mexicans want to know the origins of their meat?
It’s not good for Americans so of course our leaders support it.
How could this in any way be good for Americans or American producers? We don’t elect these clowns to do what is good for other nations.
This one really makes me mad. Using the same logic, the country of origin labels need to come off our fruits and vegetables too.
the law no longer REQUIRES country of origin labeling...
BUT
ANY meat product raised in the US that VOLUNTARILY labeled itself as from the US would see it as a MAJOR sales advantage
Congress needs to be repealed along with Obama.
Ah, yes...glorious China....the country who sent us dog food that was killing our dogs...and we’re supposed to accept food for humans from them?
They eat rats, lizards, dogs, etc over there, how much of that will wind up in “hamburger’?
If it ain’t labeled, I ain’t buying it...period.
I wish an article like this had thr bill name or number so we could easily look it up and get to our congressmen on their vote. We bitch about this stuff, but it is very difficult to take the first step in correcting it.
“Lawmakers said they had no choice but to get rid of the labels after the World Trade Organization repeatedly ruled against them.”
Why do we have lawmakers now? Why do we pay them?
Less than 0.5/1000 of the last "budget".
I guess this keeps the labeling from being mandatory rather than actually hiding where the meat comes from - some consolation since an outbreak of people kicking the bucket from contaminated meat needs to be able to be tracked. Of course, it will probably be considered poor form to actually tell the people where the poison came from...
We can track a Mexican t-bone steak but not a alien invader from same...
Perhaps the law will be well settled when the first batch of Soylent Green come to market.
