The Federal Trade Commission is cracking down on the company issuing “Made in USA” certification seals, alleging that the company is letting partners use the seal without checking that the products were in fact made in the United States. […]

but chickens sent to China for processing and sent back are okay to be labelled “Product of USA” says the FTC
How the dickens can the Chinese process chicken cheaper (plus shipping round trip) than our Somalis and Mexicans?
The chicken crowd donate at all the right fundraisers. These guys probably missed one.
I bought a couple of steaks today. This particular super market has always had good meat although they never list the grade.

I’d like to see a few CEOS get sent to prison for 5 years w/o parole if their company hires illegals, or fraudulently claims Made in America. None of the typical BS where shareholders pay a big fine and no one admits guilt.
A little serious accountability can do wonders to deter fraud and criminal activity when the target population is risk adverse. But this is America where connected individuals and campaign donors never go to prison.
