NAT'L CATTLEMEN'S BEEF ASSN ISSUES STATEMENT ON USDA'S “PRODUCT OF USA” PROPOSED RULE
Mar. 7, 2023
Source: National Cattlemen's Beef Association news release
WASHINGTON, - NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs Kent Bacus releases following statement on the USDA's new proposed rulemaking regarding the "Product of USA" label:
"There is no question that the current "Product of USA" label for beef is flawed, and it undercuts the ability of U.S. cattle producers to differentiate U.S. beef in the marketplace. For the past few years, NCBA's grassroots-driven efforts have focused on addressing problems with the existing label, and we will continue working to find a voluntary, trade-compliant solution that promotes product differentiation and delivers profitable solutions and for U.S. cattle producers.
"Simply adding born, raised, and harvested requirements to an already broken label will fail to deliver additional value to cattle producers and it will undercut true voluntary, market-driven labels that benefit cattle producers. We cannot afford to replace one flawed government label with another flawed government label."
