[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1629014, member: 12520"] Perhaps you need to read up on the Substantial Change law a little bit. It basically says a product is product of the country in which it last underwent substantial change. And that makes sense. If I sell you a cow and you take it home and process it and package it and introduce listeria or some such to it and make people sick, it wouldn't be right to call the hamburger you sold as a product of my country. If I buy a maple tree from you and turn it into a violin, I would think it would be fair to call my violin a product of Canada. So back to my original question.... Are finished product meat products that are imported into the US from say Brazil, and put in the meat case, how are they labeled? In this case to me they should say Product of Brazil. If they don't then I would agree that there needs to be a change in legislation. [/QUOTE]
