It doesn’t matter whether your steaks are Canadian

In 2008, Congress began enforcing a law requiring country-of-origin labeling on meat products, including pork, beef and lamb. The law was passed in 2002, just a couple of years after mad cow disease cropped up in North America, and its stated goal was to give consumers vital health information. The unstated goal was to give U.S. producers a leg up on Mexican and Canadian ranchers trying to break into the American market.
