Call the store and ask them where it’s made if it doesn’t say.

I THINK the law is that if it doesn’t say, it’s supposed to be produced in our country, but I’m not sure.

“I THINK the law is that if it doesn’t say, it’s supposed to be produced in our country, but I’m not sure.”

Nope. The latest labeling implemented that Meat is supposed to be labeled, and possible fresh food. But if it’s packaged,processed, I don’t think they have to tell you where it’s from.

Q. What commodities require country of origin labeling?
A. Covered commodities include muscle cuts of beef (including veal), lamb, pork, goat, and
chicken; ground beef, ground lamb, ground pork, ground goat, and ground chicken; farm-
raised fish and shellfish; wild fish and shellfish; perishable agricultural commodities;
peanuts; ginseng, pecans and macadamia nuts.
