[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 631722, member: 97"] Have faith--USDA Secretary Vilsack has indicated yesterday that the final COOL rule as established by the Bush USDA fails to meet Congress’ intent in three main areas: The use of a mixed-origin label on meat from U.S. animals does not provide the specific information that Congress intended to provide to consumers. The exemption of commodities from labeling requirements because they had been cooked, roasted or cured does not comply with Congress’ intent to inform consumers of the origins of the food they purchase. The provision that allows meat processors to include a country’s name on ground meat even when no product is sourced from that country for 60 days does not provide accurate information to consumers as Congress intended. It is believed Vilsack will issued an official directive soon to the industry to immediately correct these problems......He had a press conference scheduled for today- but for some reason postponed it...
