Mega barf alert! GOP-led House votes to repeal country-of-origin labeling on meat | 10 June 2015 | The Republican-run House passed legislation late Wednesday that would repeal country-of-origin labeling requirements for beef, pork and chicken products. Passage of the [disgusting] measure passed on a vote of 300-131. The World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled last month against the U.S. appeal to keep its existing country-of-origin labeling regulation for imported cuts of beef and pork. The regulation, issued in 2013, would require meat labels state where the livestock was born, raised and slaughtered. Consumer advocacy groups who support the labeling requirements warned that the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade corporate takeover pact could further threaten regulations meant to protect public safety.
