KAW's comments to USDA-FSIS regarding animal raising claims, including the Raised without Antibiotics (RWA), for the labeling of meat and poultry products..
Clear and meaningful labels are vital to the growth of the market for meat produced in a way that safeguards the effectiveness of antibiotics for future generations. The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) can insure such labels by adopting new transparent processes for establishing the truthfulness of animal-raising claims and clarifying its relationship with Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS).
