No- the COOL law passed by Congress and signed into law was for beef products imported from anywhere in the world- BUT Canada and Mexico raised a stink claiming it violated NAFTA - and the WTO agreed with them and threatened sanctions on the U.S.-- so the Congress panicked and rescinded the...

They still have to work out all the details- which historically have not been very expeditive-- could be months or years...Right now I'm not very optimistic...

The first Brazilian fresh beef has been shipped to the U.S. And without COOL they can mix and match, comingle, and pass it all off as U.S. domestic product to unknowing consumers... And coincidentally cattle futures dropped limit down today !
