New meat labeling rule now in effect

Despite last-minute legal challenges, a new rule requiring country-of-origin labels on some meats are now in effect. The meat industry and the governments of Canada and Mexico are challenging the rule in court but, for now at least, it's the law of the land.

The country-of-origin labeling (COOL) requires that stores identify the country where the animal was born, raised and slaughtered. It covers beef, chicken, pork, lamb and goat. Ground meats, deli and processed products are exempt.

The new labels are required to be much more specific than the old ones. They must say, for example, "Born in Mexico, raised and slaughtered in the U.S." 

The rule's backers say that consumers have a right to know where their next meal came from. The meat industry says it may cause other countries to shun American meat since they will have a harder time selling their products in the U.S.

Canada and Mexico are two of the biggest importers of U.S. meat and have challenged the rule through the World Trade Organization.

Meat industry sues to stop country-of-origin labeling

The meat and livestock industry is taking exception to country-of-origin labeling rules -- known as COOL -- finalized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier this year.

Previously, meat labels only had to say where meat came from. Under the new rule, they must say where the meat was born, raised and slaughtered. The American Meat Institute says the rule is unconstitutional and has filed suit in D.C. federal court.

The suit charges that the rule "compels speech in the form of costly and detailed labels on meat products that do not directly advance a government interest."  It charges the rule is "arbitrary and capricious, because it imposes vast burdens on the industry with little to no countervailing benefit."

Currently, a slab of meat may be identified as "Product of U.S. and Canada." Under the new rules, it would have to say, "Born in Canada, raised and slaughtered in the United States."

Lifetime itinerary

“Congress mandated country-of-origin labeling for meat and poultry -- not lifetime itinerary labeling,” AMI said in a prepared statement.  “Segregating and tracking animals according to the countries where production steps occurred and detailing that information on a label may be a bureaucrat’s paperwork fantasy, but the labels that result will serve only to confuse consumers, raise the prices they pay, and put some producers and meat and poultry companies out of business in the process.  Everyone loses under this rule.”

Consumer groups, however, have long supported the type of labeling COOL would require. A nationally representative telephone poll of more than 1,000 U.S. adults, conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center in October 2010 found that most consumers (93%) would prefer to have a country of origin label on the meat that they buy.

"These results underscore our previous poll findings from 2008 indicating that 95% of US adults agree that country-of-origin labeling for products should always be available at the point of purchase," Urvashi Rangan, Ph.D., of Consumers Union said at the time the surbey results were released.

The rules also have had support from other farmers' organizations and from many environmental groups.

USDA said it "remains confident that these changes will improve the overall operation of the program and also bring the mandatory COOL requirements into compliance with U.S. international trade obligations."

New rule would require labeling mechanically tenderized meat

"Mechanically tenderized" meat will have to be clearly labeled if a proposed U.S. Department of Agriculture rule goes into effect.

Why? Well, it turns out that the process of tenderizing meat by using needles or sharp blades to break up muscle fiber not only makes it more tender. It can also push any germs or toxic substances that are on the meat's surface into its interior, where it won't be removed by washing and where it may survive high cooking temperatures, since the inside of meat doesn't get as hot as the outside while it's cooking.

“Ensuring that consumers have effective tools and information is important in helping them protect their families against foodborne illness,” said Dr. Elisabeth Hagen, USDA’s Under Secretary for Food Safety. “This proposed rule would enhance food safety by providing clear labeling of mechanically-tenderized beef products and outlining new cooking instructions so that consumers and restaurants can safely prepare these products.”

The proposal is being praised by food safety and consumer advocates, including Sarah Klein, senior food safety attorney at the Center For Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). She called it "a common sense remedy that can protect consumers."

Klein said most consumers don't realize the meat industry uses mechanical means to tenderize meat.

"This little-known but widespread industry practice can push surface pathogens to the interior of the meat, making those bacteria much harder to kill unless a consumer cooks the meat to well done." she said. "Consumers and restaurants should exercise more care when cooking these products and use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees, plus a three-minute rest period, or even 160 degrees."

Klein said USDA should accelerate the requirement and make labels mandatory by January 2014. In the meantime, she said, consumers should ask at the meat counter if the products they are buying have been mechanically tenderized and select intact cuts if they prefer meat rare or medium rare.

There have been at least a half dozen food poisoning outbreaks since 2003 that are believed to have occurred because tenderized beef was not cooked to a high enough temperature for a long enough period of time.

The USDA hopes to phase in the rule after a 60-day comment period that begins with the proposals publication in the Federal Register.

Ready for Another Additive? How About Some Meat Glue

You've probably already heard of "pink slime", the beef-based  additive that's added to processed meats and beef products -- and, experts say, isn't as bad as it sounds -- but get ready to wet your palettes for the scrumptious sounding "meat glue."

The appropriately named additive is used to take smaller cuts of beef and pork and join them to larger cuts for a more uniform and better-looking steak, and it's used in meats from the finest restaurants and deli's to your local fast-food joint.

Industry experts say that 11 to 35 percent of all packaged beef, chicken, fish, ham, pizza toppings and other deli products contain the questionable meat adhesive. Although the U.S. Agriculture Department requires companies to disclose such information through labeling, many companies choose not to do so, and consider meat glue okay to consume.

Making more profit is also motivation for companies that choose not to list the enzymes on labels, as smaller inexpensive cuts of meat can be transformed into bigger and more expensive cuts and sold at a higher price.

To the rescue

But here comes the American Meat Institute to the possible rescue, as it initiated a conference call with the employees of Fibrimex, and Ajinomoto North America, which are the two companies that make the sticky additive.

Although the two meat glue companies said there are no harmful affects to eating the enzymes, it was used to combine two unshapely beef tenderloins together for a more uniform appearance, enhancing the meat's appeal so it can be can be sold at restaurants, cruise ships, banquets or other fancy eateries.

"If you've got a steak that has meat glued together, the only way you can make the product safe is to cook it well done," said William Marler, a Seattle based attorney for food safety cases. "But since consumers don't know that, they won't know they have to order it that way. That's the problem."

In a response given to a California news outlet, Janet Riley of the American Meat Institute did warn that names given to these additives paint a wrongful picture for the consumer, causing them to automatically consider them harmful without doing any background research.

"These terms are really unfortunate," she said. "They give people a false impression, for sure, and I am concerned about their use."

Los Angeles-based doctor Bruce Hensel told the buying public that meat glue is a "natural enzyme," not an artificial additive. "The FDA believes it's safe as long as it's handled properly," he said.

Michele Simon, policy consultant for the Center for Food Safety has more of a problem with the meat industry's decision not to be open with the public about its products.

"For decades, the meat industry has conveniently operated in the dark, not sharing the dirty details of their practices with the public, while the federal government looked the other way," she said. "But now, consumers are demanding to know the truth about what they are.

    Whole Foods Recalls Fresh Ground Beef


    Upscale grocery Whole Foods has recalled fresh ground beef from all its stores after learning the meat could be tainted by E. coli.

    The meat was purchased from Coleman Natural Foods, but was processed at Nebraska Beef, which recalled more than five million pounds of ground beef in May and June.

    Nebraska beef recalled an additional 1.2 million pounds of beef produced in June and July, and that beef is included in the meat that found its way to Whole Foods.

    Last week Massachusetts health officials reported six people had gotten sick with the particularly virulent E. coli O157:H7strain. By the end of last week, that outbreak had been traced to meat purchased from Whole Foods stores.

    Whole foods began an investigation and contacted its meat supplier, Coleman Natural Foods. It was only then, the company says, that it learned the meat had originated at Nebraska Beef. The plant was already under close scrutiny by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

    "We will continue to investigate to see what is happening at the plant to see what they have to do to get a handle on their food-safety issues," said USDA spokeswoman Laura Reiser.

    In early July USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service took the unusual step of publicly criticizing Nebraska Beef's operation. The agency said the company uses production practices that "are insufficient to effectively control E. coli O157:H7 in their beef products that are intended for grinding. The beef that was ultimately recalled may have been produced under unsanitary conditions, the agency said.

    In a statement, Whole Foods said no beef secured from Coleman Natural Foods and sold between June 2 and August 6 is currently in any of its stores. It said its supplier had previously assured it than none of the recalled Nebraska Beef products were among the products it supplied to Whole Foods.

    "While Coleman Natural Beef is a relatively small supplier for Whole Foods Market, we are extremely disappointed that we must now question Coleman's assurances," said Edmund Lamacchia, global vice president of procurement.

    Whole Foods Market says customers who may have ground beef purchased beef from June 2 to August 6 to dispose of the product and return to the store with the packaging or receipt for a full refund.

    "At Whole Foods Market, one of our top priorities is consumer safety, and we go to great lengths to ensure the safety and quality of our meats," said Lamacchia. "We are currently cooperating with the USDA, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Montgomery County Health Department in Pennsylvania as part of a routine multi-state investigation into these confirmed cases of E. coli 0157:H7 infection."

    The Massachusetts Department of Public Health issued warnings about the targeted beef. Whole Foods Market said it will continue to work with state and federal authorities as this investigation progresses.



    Farm Bill Provision Would Cut Meat Inspections

    With concerns mounting daily over the safety of the U.S. food supply, it might make sense that Congress would mandate an increase in food inspections.

    But instead, a provision of the House-passed version of the 2007 Farm Bill would actually require fewer inspections for some meat.

    The provision, authored by Rep. Collin Peterson (D-MN), would require fewer federal inspections for meat that is processed by small companies and shipped to another state.

    Currently, meat lacking a federal inspection stamp can only be sold in the state where it is produced. Only state inspections are required for those products.

    The Chicago Tribune reports the change is intended to help small meat packing plants in the Midwest. The newspaper quotes congressional staff as saying these small companies could greatly expand their business if allowed to ship nationwide.

    But in the wake of last weeks massive Topps Beef hamburger recall, many consumer advocates dont see it that way.

    They, along with the federal meat inspectors union, are opposing this particular aspect of the Farm Bill, currently making its way through the Senate. These critics argue that state inspection standards are hardly consistent, and that uniform, federal standards are the only way to protect the public.

    In the Topps case, the recalled hamburger patties were suspected of E. coli contamination. So far this year, the Department of Agriculture has recalled nearly 28 million pounds of ground beef.

    Stan Painter, a USDA inspector and an official with the American Federation of Government Employees union, which represents federal meat inspectors, told the Tribune that small plants may apply to have a federal inspector on site, but that wouldnt necessarily help them.

    I'm not sure the smaller plants are capable of meeting federal standard, Painter said.

    Petersons proposal appears to be at odds with other Democrats in Congress, who have called for greater federal inspections of the food supply.

    In September, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA), chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, introduced the Fresh Produce Safety Act of 2007.

    It would require the FDA to develop and enforce mandatory good agricultural practices for growers and manufacturers in the US. Currently, there are only voluntary guidelines.



    Honey Baked Recalls Hams, Turkeys

    Just in time for the holiday season, one of its busiest times of the year, HoneyBaked Foods, Inc., of Toledo, Ohio has recalled nearly 47,000 pounds of booked ham and turkey products. The company notified USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service the meat may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.

    The company has set up a section on its Website -- www.honeybaked.com/ReCallNotification.asp where consumers can check to see if products sold in their area are affected. The following products are subject to recall:

    • 6- to 11-pound packages of "SLICED & GLAZED FULLY COOKED HALF HAM." Each package bears the establishment number "EST. 15875" inside the USDA mark of inspection. Each label also bears a package code between "6261" and "6310."

    • 12- to 16- pound packages of "SLICED & GLAZED FULLY COOKED WHOLE HAM." Each package bears the establishment number "EST. 15875" inside the USDA mark of inspection. Each label also bears a package code between "6261" and "6310."

    • 3-pound approximate weight packages of "SLICED AND GLAZED COOKED BONELESS TURKEY BREAST." Each package bears the establishment number "P-15875" inside the USDA mark of inspection. Each label also bears the product code "30505 02099", as well as a package code between "6248" and "6258."

    • 3-pound approximate weight packages of "SLICED AND GLAZED FULLY COOKED SMOKED BONELESS TURKEY BREAST."

    Each package bears the establishment number "P-15875" inside the USDA mark of inspection. Each label also bears the product code "30504 02099", as well as a package code between "6248" and "6258."

    The ham and turkey products were produced between September 5 and November 13, and were sold at the company's retail stores and kiosks in the Toledo, Ohio, region, as well as through internet and telephone catalogue sales nationwide. HoneyBaked Foods Inc. has contacted catalogue sale customers who purchased products subject to recall.

    The problem was discovered through the company's microbiological testing. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product.

    Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease.

    Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis. However, listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy.

    Consumers with questions about the recall should contact company Customer Service Hotline at (800) 461-3998.



    Consumers Concerned About Carbon Monoxide in Meat

    Three out of four consumers were either very concerned or somewhat concerned about the practice of adding carbon monoxide to meat to make the meat appear bright red for up to several weeks longer than untreated meat, according to a new survey conducted for the Consumer Federation of America.

    In addition, 78 percent of consumers said that the practice of treating red meat with carbon monoxide is deceptive and 68 percent would strongly support a law to make it mandatory that meat treated with carbon monoxide be labeled, according to the survey of 1,019 men and women administered for CFA by the Opinion Research Corporation.

    "Consumers are quite simply concerned about the addition of carbon monoxide to meat packaging," said Chris Waldrop, Deputy Director of the Food Policy Institute at Consumer Federation of America. "In fact, most consumers find the practice deceptive. The FDA needs to halt this practice immediately."

    Adding carbon monoxide to meat packaging increases the meat packers' profit by reducing the number of times meat is repackaged. Adding a small amount of CO to prepackaged red meat makes the meat appear bright red for up to several weeks longer than untreated meat.

    CFA has written to the Food and Drug Administration in support of a citizen's petition filed by Kalsec, Inc. in November 2005, asking FDA to prohibit this use of carbon monoxide in the packaging of fresh meat.

    "It is clear that the FDA failed to consider the consumer deception inherent in this practice," Waldrop added. "The agency simply ceded to industry pressure without adequately considering the impact on consumers."

    Most consumers are concerned about the practice of adding CO to color meat and believe this practice to be deceptive, according to the survey.

    • Sixty-three percent (63%) agreed with the statement "the freshness of meat is directly related to the color of the meat." By extending the bright red color of meat for several weeks longer than untreated meat, carbon monoxide masks the true color of the meat and consumers are unable to accurately determine if the meat is fresh.

    • Three out of four consumers (75%) are very concerned or somewhat concerned about the practice of adding CO to meat to make the meat appear bright red for up to several weeks longer than untreated meat.

    • Three out of four consumers (74%) also replied that CO-treated meat such as ground beef should not be allowed to have a 28-day shelf life, as required by the Federal government. The typical shelf life for prepackaged meat that has not been treated with CO is 10 to 12 days.

    • In addition, over three-fourths of consumers (78%) said that the practice of treating red meat with CO is deceptive.

    • Moreover, 68% of consumers would strongly support a law to make it mandatory that meat treated with CO be labeled.

    Supermarket Chains Refuse To Sell Carbon Monoxide-Treated Meat

    Major supermarket chains are turning up their noses at case-ready meat and ground beef treated with carbon monoxide. The use of carbon monoxide imparts a bright red color on the meat's surface, which can hide the browning of meat normally associated with spoilage and temperature abuse.

    Major national supermarket chains, including Wal-Mart, Kroger, Publix, Stop & Shop, A&P, Wegmans and Whole Foods are not selling carbon monoxide-treated meat to consumers, and some have cited potential consumer deception as a reason for their decision.

    "Publix does not use carbon monoxide to disguise the color of our meat," company spokeswoman Barbara Reid told the Atlanta Constitution-Journal. "Ethically, we disagree with it."

    Because the use of CO could be viewed as deceptive, Kroger executive Lynn Marmer said the company does not sell CO-treated meat.

    In a letter urging the Food and Drug Administration to rescind its approval of CO-treated meat, the Consumer Federation of America and Safe Tables Our Priority, a national, non-profit, volunteer, health organization, said carbon monoxide "hides the visual clues that consumers utilize on a regular basis to determine the safety and freshness of their meat," adding that "consumers are unable to determine if the meat they are purchasing for their families is truly fresh."

    "Supermarkets across the country are listening to consumer concerns about meat packaged with carbon monoxide," said Chris Waldrop, Deputy Director of the Food Policy Institute at CFA. "We applaud their decision to keep this deceptive practice out of their stores."

    Chicago recently became the first municipality in the United States seeking to protect consumers by banning the use of carbon monoxide on fresh meat.

    Mark Klein of Cargill Meat Solutions, the company that sells much of the carbon monoxide-treated meat in the United States, was quizzed at a Chicago City Council hearing about the consumer's right to know whether meat is treated with carbon monoxide.

    A transcript of the March 23 hearing revealed this exchange:

    ALDERMAN HAIRSTON: My question to you -- I want you to answer the question that I asked you previously. In other words, the consumer doesn't have a right to know?

    MR. KLEIN: I don't think they really would, you know, care to know.

    The practice is already banned in the European Union.
