Ottawa—A USDA proposal to alter its food labelling rules will receive close scrutiny by the federal government and two national livestock organizations hoping to avoid a repeat of the country of origin labelling battle with the U.S. of a decade ago.
“Canada will also firmly oppose any proposition from the United States to renew a mandatory country of origin labelling system for pork and beef, a practice which the World Trade Organization allowed Canada to take retaliation measures against the United States.” Rene Roy, Chair of the Canadian Pork Council, said the USDA proposal would cause supply chain challenges and risk increased food disruptions at a difficult time in the North American supply chain.
The Canadian Cattle Association said it would review the proposal and analyze the consumer survey and price analysis on which it is partially based. The proposal incorporates a potentially more restrictive version of the standard contained in the Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling statute that WTO said violated Canada’s rights.
