Tyson changes meat labeling
Tyson will identify the United States as origin
for a majority of its premium beef and pork products, thus meeting federal
requirements for country-of-origin labeling (COOL). The company was previously
going to offer most of its beef and pork cuts under the mixed country-of-origin
label to avoid the cost of segregating livestock and meat in its plant.
However, since 90% of its fresh retail beef and pork cuts meet the definition
of U.S. labeling, it qualifies for the label as directed in the 2008 Farm Bill.
