Poultry law hit

Additional moisture in beef, lamb, or pork is forbidden. A U.S. District Court judge in Iowa called the added-water regulations "arbitrary and capricious" because the government had not explained why meat and poultry should be treated differently. The Food Safety and Inspection Service has been contemplating a proposal to make the water regulations more equitable; the ruling will add pressure for action. The meat industry is asking for changes in additional regulations to even the playing field with poultry.
