None of the dominant meat packers in the United States have joined those who are going to label meat “Product of U.S.”
Those who have signed on with the U.S. Department of Agriculture are these 10:
• Harris Ranch
• One World Beef
• Upper Iowa Beef
• American Foods Group (AFG)
• Agri Beef
• FPL Food
• Hadrick Farms
• Fort Worth Meats
• Wholestone Farms
• Harrison’s Poultry
Canadians have opposed labelling meats for country of origin because it believes some packing plants that buy Canadian livestock would stop because it would require keeping separate storage and processing lines.
Canada successfully challenged two attempts to force country of origin meat labelling. The current country-of-origin labelling is voluntary.
