AMI Files Comments Objecting to Montana Country of Origin Labeling Act



American Meat Institute

December 06, 2006



The American Meat Institute (AMI) and the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) today submitted comments opposing the implementation of Montana’s Country of Origin Placarding Act. The associations stated in their comments that the provisions in the law, and its attendant proposed regulations, that mandate country of origin labeling through placarding represent an unconstitutional exercise of power in violation of multiple provisions of the United States Constitution, including the Supremacy Clause and the Commerce Clause.



Because the state law and proposed regulations are unconstitutional AMI and FMI requested that the Montana Department of Labor and Industry withdraw the proposed regulation. To review the comments in their entirety, go to http://www.meatami.com/StoryLinks/2006/montanacolcomments120606.pdf.

If you read this link, you will see how much the AMI and the bought USDA is against truth in labeling and U.S. producers.

It is really astounding.

MRJ, who is president of the AMI?

These positions sound exactly like the positions of SH, who says he supports truth in labeling, and producer interests. He gets his talking points from the AMI.

I don't believe this is any surprise and was inspected...You can go back and look at some of my posts a year ago and I predicted this....

And I still think there is nothing the Montana Governor would like more than a lawsuit or national battle so he could go to the national press and make this misuse of the USDA label and fraud perpetated on consumers more apparent to everyone...That and the USDA's current handling/mishandling of the border rules involving the Canadian beef....

Governor Schweitzer just loves press coverage when it looks like he is taking on Big Business and fighting for the little guy or middle class- and he's made his political career out of refusing PAC donations and taking on NAFTA imports- be it wheat, beef, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, etc. etc........

Might get interesting....
