I am wondering what the new USDA escapades will do for the push to take meat products out from under the control of USDA and put under the FDA? There is already a huge rift between the two agencies which almost was an outright war...Many of FDA rules are more stringent than USDA's--Some put in for consumer safety under the Homeland Security rules-- I think some of these regarding traceback ability for all imported foods (which includes meat) go into effect this year...In other words M-COOL traceback requirements without giving the consumers the ablity to use it- altho the retailer will have to keep documentation all the way thru to sale on imported products....
There was a push in Congress to end the infighting by giving all food products to FDA--If USDA is caught with their pants down again will this fuel the fire?......
