NEWS: Today the Trump Administration declared a victory for launching a “Product of the USA label” for meat
However, this is a VOLUNTARY program that was originally implemented by Biden Administration Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack. You can find the old announcement here: https://t.co/fGIxviOMrh
The new label from today’s announcement does not mandate that the BigPackers who import inferior, foreign trim meat to blend it with high-quality American beef will be required to disclose the origin of the product they are selling—which means the American grocery store shopper will still have absolutely no idea where their beef is coming from—unless the seller VOLUNTARILY CHOOSES to disclose. And what’s not to say that blended foreign/domestic burger isn’t a Product of the USA?
For the last 6 months, we have been working behind the scenes with some Patriots in the Administration to help draft an executive order on MANDATORY Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL), which would have also helped shake loose the MCOOL bill sitting stagnantly in the House. We have attached the draft in the comments below.
The EO made it all the way to the Oval for approval, however was ultimately shot down by USDA leadership citing “affordability” concerns—of which there are no valid economic studies proving that MCOOL would increase prices in the grocery stores. The affordability concern is merely an argument perpetuated by BigAg funded groups to prevent transparency and competition in the American cattle industry.
The point of this post is to encourage American consumers to STAY LOUD in your desire to get MCOOL across the finish line. While we are extremely disappointed in certain groups and individuals who have sold out for “access” and photo opportunities, we will always remain strong in our belief that the American public deserves more than a VOLUNTARY policy that won’t hold BigPackers accountable.
We’re not giving up anytime soon to MAKE BEEF AMERICAN AGAIN 🇺🇸

Minneapolis @MayorFrey: "I just saw a video of more than six masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"
The scene must be secured by local law enforcement for preservation of evidence. We expect the federal government to allow the BCA to process the scene.
Please submit video from the scene here: https://t.co/ne4Hf2xPLn
