Wyoming meat labeling law unconstitutional

Retailers and wholesalers who sell imported meat in Wyoming are now required to label the meat “imported” and state its country of origin, thanks to recent amendments to Wyoming’s Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Pw 18471 S Pw 1000 140

The regulation specifies the size, color and location of the label. An exemption is made for ground or comminuted meat products.

FMI asked that the meat labeling regulation be withdrawn.
