| Not a beef cow, but certainly a product of the USA |
Country of Origin Labeling that is. It's good to know where food is grown and under what set of standards.
I'd rather not buy imported produce if given the choice. Same goes for meat. Our inspection standards are far superior to those in many other countries, and I prefer to give our neighbors the business....and money....if possible.
However, it seems that FSIS is allowing foreign beef to be plainly labeled as a product of the USA.
Ridiculous.

Thanks for alerting us to these improper practices.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable...why are we even paying taxes. Thanks for the warning.
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, it is so frustrating to me that big companies like JBS Swift have so much influence on policy and American farmers and ranchers almost none. This has been going on for decades, getting worse all the time.
ReplyDeleteJan, sometimes you wonder, eh?
BAH! I'm right with you on this. Thanks for letting us know!
ReplyDeleteLinda, enough to make you mad, isn't it!
