“Made in the USA” label claim could be used on meat and poultry products only when they are derived from animals born, raised, slaughtered and processed in the U.S.
U.S. Reps. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., recently introduced legislation to require the U.S. Trade Representative to reinstate mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL) for imported beef.
Tom Vilsack said that there may not be a fix for the country of origin labeling rules that have come into conflict with the World Trade Organization’s rules.
