The National Farmers Union Friday announced that it intends to intervene in the lawsuit filed July 10 against the USDA seeking to nullify the USDA's May 23 final rule regarding Country of Origin Labeling.
If granted an intervention, NFU, along with partnering organizations – U.S. Cattlemen's Association, Consumer Federation of America and American Sheep Industry Association – intend to defend the COOL regulation, which requires muscle cuts to be labeled based on where the animal was born, raised and slaughtered.
