[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 443365, member: 97"] The measure creates [b]three categories of labeling[/b]: [u]one that indicates product was born, raised and slaughtered in the United States[/u]; [i](USA BEEF- pure and simple)[/i] one that indicates [u]product was not exclusively born, raised and slaughtered in the U.S[/u].; [i](cattle imported from Mexico- or Canada- or US cattle that were fed in Canada- or Canadian or Mexican cattle fed or slaughtered in the US) [/i]and one that includes products [u]entirely derived from foreign countries.[/u] -([i]beef from cattle totally raised in a foreign county that was slaughtered in that country and then imported)[/i]... [u]Ground meat product can be labeled with a list of countries where product may have originated[/u]. [i]Ground beef from cattle exclusively born, raised, and slaughtered in US may be labeled product of USA...[/i] The law is set to take effect in September of 2008. In other words telling the US consumer the TRUTH- and leaving the decision up to them :roll: :) Whether the foreign product is discounted or premiumed is up to the consumer-- Polls show that by huge majoritys consumers trust the quality and safety of US food products over those from the rest of the world...Following the US- consumers feel safest with products from Canada- Australia- and New Zealand next with those same consumers fearing products from China, Mexico, South America and Asia most...... Anything entering the country or leaving the country and re-entering has to be marked and labeled...Any cattle leaving the US to feed in Canada must be lableled under the Canadian ID system-be hot iron branded with a C^N- and have documentation and manifests showing where they have been...This must stay with them thru sale to the consumer for inspection by authorities...
