Congress Tells USDA To Stop LFTB Smear Campaign—National Meat Assn.

A coalition of 30 Congressmen wrote last week to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack asking what steps USDA has taken to correct the public record and educate consumers about the safety of lean finely-textured beef (LFTB).

”We believe that USDA is in a unique position to help bring to
light the facts about LFTB. We understand that Congress, too,
can play a role,” the Congressmen coalition stated in its letter.
”How can Congress and the USDA work together to stop the campaign of misinformation about LFTB?”
