A coalition of industry, manufacturing and consumer groups penned a letter to U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai in request of help restoring mandatory country-of-origin labeling (MCOOL) for beef.

“The undersigned organizations are requesting that your office issue a letter or public statement repudiating these (World Trade Organization)-legality concerns, and the tremendous public policy concerns that would follow from adherence to this egregious decision,” the groups wrote.

Signatories included Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund USA, Farm Action Fund and several state cattle groups.
