Canada's federal government as well as organizations representing some the nation's beef producers warn a decision south of the border about 'Product of USA
Canada’s federal government as well as organizations representing some the nation’s beef producers warn a decision south of the border about “Product of USA” labels on meat, poultry and eggs could disrupt supply chains.
But Canada’s Agriculture Minister, Lawrence MacAulay, and International Trade Minister Mary Ng say in a joint statement they’re disappointed the rule does not appear to take into account concerns they’ve raised related to the “unique and important trading relationship” between the two countries. “Today’s announcement is a vital step toward consumer protection and builds on the Biden-Harris Administration’s work to bolster trust and fairness in the marketplace where smaller processors can compete,” Vilsack said in the news release after announcing the final rule Monday at the National Farmers Union Annual Convention in Phoenix, Ariz.
A statement from the Canadian Cattle Association, which represents beef farms and feedlots, called the rule “the most onerous standard in the world.”
