New federal labeling rules have been implemented in the US which will allow the shoppers to have more information about the meat they purchase.
The new regulations require labels on steaks, ribs and other cuts of meat to convey information about where the animal was born, raised and slaughtered. These rules are applicable only to cuts of meat such as steaks and roasts, not to ground meat.
The new rules are a major overhaul of the current labeling requirements which were released in March 2009.
