If it could not meet those standards then it would be "imported"... And it is already being accomplished--for the school lunch program-- as the current law requires that beef for the school lunch program has to be US beef... The approved slaughter houses butcher imported cattle on certain days or certain shifts- all domestic the rest of the time/or butcher only domestic...With all imported cattle already being required to be hot branded (M for Mexico, C rafter N for Canada) and be segregated in the lots, they should be able to easily distinquish which qualifies for which...
