What was said
""As Congress continues to move this, we're working to light a fire that I believe we're working through this right now, but maybe breaking news for your show, that I believe there's a world where we can— USDA food— we have food safety inspection at USDA, 10,000 safety inspectors. FDA does most of the food, but USDA, my crew, does meat, poultry, eggs, and things like that. That why can't we just stamp it not product of the USA right now? Please.""
Brooke Rollins says that while Congress works on mandatory country-of-origin labeling, the USDA might be able to act quickly through its food safety inspection role. She floats stamping imported meat as “not product of the USA” as an interim step and says she is working on it now.
