THEY CAN'T TRACE IT IF IT'S NOT CONTAMINATED RANCHER.
THINK!!!!!
They can only trace to the source of contamination IF ITS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE.
Testing for ecoli to find the source of contamination is hardly comparable to labeling beef to it's origin WHEN CONSUMERS AREN'T EVEN ASKING FOR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN LABELING. If they were, they could buy source verified beef. I see Angus Gene Net is now giving a $6 per head premium for source verified cattle. DRIVEN BY THE FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM INSTEAD OF A FLAWED GOVERNMENT MANDATE. What a concept!
