US loses out in meat labeling dispute with Mexico

The United States has lost a battle with Canada and Mexico over meat labeling and will consult with Congress and the public over next steps, a U.S Trade Representative official said.

USTR Chief Counsel Tim Reif said he was disappointed the World Trade Organization confirmed an earlier ruling that country-of-origin labeling rules illegally discriminate against imported livestock, rejecting a U.S. appeal.
