Mar. 12, 2024
Source: National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) news release
WASHINGTON - Today, NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs Kent Bacus released the following statement on the USDA's finalized rule on the "Product of USA" label:
"NCBA has been committed to finding solutions to this problem ever since a producer-led NCBA working group raised the alarm, years ago, that imported beef could be mislabeled as a Product of the USA incorrectly at the end of the supply chain. We appreciate USDA's effort to address this loophole.
"During the implementation period, NCBA's focus will remain on ensuring that these changes result in the opportunity for producer premiums while remaining trade compliant."
