The marked inflation of food pricing is apparent upon any trip to the grocery store. Can new regulations aimed at governing the relationship between farmers and the corporations to which they sell their livestock help bring food prices down while allowing farmers to earn more for their labor? The Biden Administration has issued four regulations that aim to (1) prohibit certain previously common contractual terms between farmers and the purchasers of their livestock, (2) allow farmers to use an antitrust statute to assert claims of racial and other types of discrimination, and (3) allow farmers in general to more easily sue meat processors with claims of unfair competition. Are these new regulations legally sound, and will they work to bring down food prices? Join Minnesota Congressman Brad Finstad, Farm Action's Joe Maxwell, and the North American Meat Institute's Mark Dopp in a panel moderated by Judge Stephen Alexander Vaden as they debate these questions. Featuring: Mark Dopp, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel, North American Meat InstituteU.S. Congressman Brad Finstad, (MN-01)Joe Maxwell, President, Board of Directors, Farm Action(Moderator) Hon.

This week's Open Mic guest is Julie Anna Potts, CEO of the Meat Institute. A new logo and brand identity of the group formerly known as the North American Meat Institute is being celebrated this week at the Annual Meat Conference in Nashville. The group's purpose is summarized to highlight both nourishment and sustainability. In this interview, Potts discusses the group's mission, efforts toward sustainability, the Biden administration's amendments to the Packers and Stockyards Act, the new voluntary Product of the USA meat labels, Proposition 12 and the ill effects of the smallest cattle inventory since the 1950's.
Eric Mittenthal, chief strategy officer for the North American Meat Institute, joined me during last month's International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta. We discussed the Institute's Protein PACT initiative, its success thus far and goals moving forward, as well as what any segment of the food industry can learn from how Protein PACT has brought together processors.
My guest represents the North American Meat Institute, and their mission is to Help meat and poultry companies nourish people with animal protein around the world.NAMI or the Meat Institute supports the businesses processing meat and poultry, and their supplier partners, that sustainably nourish families around the world. It is the largest trade association representing processors of beef, pork, lamb, veal, and poultry.More than 350 companies, of all sizes throughout North American operate more than 800 USDA inspected plants and account for more than 95 percent of United States output of meat and poultry products.And we are talking about hot dog Etiquette today, so, when preparing to eat a hot dog, do you put hot dog toppings between the hot dog and the bun or just the dog? https://hot-dog.org/ https://meatinstitute.org/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org
AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Miriam Martin, Director of Animal Health and Welfare and the North American Meat Institute, and Dr. Michael Kleinhenz, Clinical Associate Professor in Dairy Cattle Production at Texas A&M Vero for this episode to discuss the paper that was published in the Journal of Dairy Science that was the result of the cattle welfare research grant through the AABP Foundation.

We start our conversation by discussing a typical dehorning protocol on beef and dairy farms as well as methods for providing local anesthesia to the horn bud. The objective of this study was to determine if the duration of analgesia could be extended using additional anesthesia and analgesia protocols in calves that were scoop dehorned. All treatment groups received a cornual nerve block with lidocaine and the four treatment groups included an additional infiltration around the horn bud with ethanol, lidocaine alone, lidocaine with meloxicam, and a bupivacaine liposome suspension. Martin discusses the outcome variables they tested and walks us through how these measurements were performed by the investigators. The results indicated that none of the treatments extended the duration of analgesia based on the outcomes measured, however it did emphasize that multimodal analgesic therapy with a local anesthetic and oral meloxicam is the gold standard by working synergistically and providing a longer duration of analgesia. Martin also discusses the opportunities for future research in pain management in cattle, including investigating products and procedures that are practical regimens to extend the duration of analgesia for a variety of painful procedures and conditions. This project was funded by the AABP Foundation through the welfare research grant program. The AABP Foundation funds clinically relevant research that may not have the opportunity for funding through other sources. Please consider donating to the AABP Foundation research projects so that future projects that benefit cattle veterinarians, producers and cattle have the opportunity for funding.

This week's Open Mic guest is Julie Anna Potts, President and CEO of the North American Meat Institute. The nation's meat industry continues to weather disruptions from the Covid pandemic as well as the obstacles of a short labor supply and other supply chain issues. Potts acknowledges concerns about price disparity in the beef industry, but points to analysts who suggest the reaction was typical given market circumstances. Ahead, feed availability and price exacerbated by severe drought may create further challenges for producers and processors alike. NAMI anxiously awaits the Supreme Court's attention to California's Proposition 12 and is eager to help feed hungry families across the nation with food donations.
Let's discuss the biggest challenges meat and poultry producers and manufacturers are facing in today's economy, and how this is impacting consumers' emotional connections to food purchases. Check out this new episode with host Jennifer Kulzer, Sr. Digital Marketing Manager, and guest Eric Mittenthal, Chief Strategy Officer, North American Meat Institute.
Through the Protein PACT, the North American Meat Institute and partners across the supply chain are uniting in the largest-ever effort to strengthen animal protein's contributions to the people, animals and climate of tomorrow. Committed to improving the sustainability of meat and poultry (including sustainable animal feed, corn and soy), the PACT has five focus areas: environment, health and wellness, animal welfare, labor and human rights, and food safety. Tune in to this episode to learn about the sustainability metrics and targets for these five areas: Environment – optimize contributions to healthy land, air and water Health & Wellness – provide wide variety of high-quality protein for balanced diets Animal welfare – provide the most humane care and raise healthy animals Labor & Human Rights – support a diverse workforce and ensure safe workplaces Food Safety – produce safe food without exception Full shownotes and resources at: https://soundbitesrd.com/215
A Russian soldier has gone on trial in Ukraine for the killing of an unarmed civilian. The case that opened in Kyiv marked the first time a member of the Russian military has been prosecuted for a war crime since Russia invaded Ukraine 11 weeks ago. A 21-year-old captured member of a tank unit is accused of shooting a 62-year-old Ukrainian man in the head through an open car window in a northeastern village. Finland's leaders have come out in favor of applying to join NATO, and Sweden could do the same within days. That would amount to a historic realignment on the continent 2 1/2 months after Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine sent a shiver of fear through Moscow's neighbors. The Kremlin has reacted to the move by Finland by warning it will be forced to take retaliatory “military-technical” steps. President Joe Biden is stepping up his administration's response to a nationwide baby formula shortage that has forced frenzied parents into online groups to swap and sell to each other to keep their babies fed. The shortage stems from supply chain disruptions and a safety recall. Retailers are limiting what customers can buy, and doctors are urging parents to contact food banks, physicians' offices as well as warning against watered-down formula or making DIY recipes. Mayors, police chiefs and other local officials are going to the White House to share with President Biden how they are spending money from the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package on policing and public safety programs. White House officials say Biden will highlight some of these efforts during an event in the Rose Garden on Friday and urge cities to spend even more of their coronavirus relief money on public safety before the summer months, which typically bring a spike in violent crime. The 2021 relief package included $350 billion for state, local and tribal governments. That relief money could go to police departments. Elon Musk says his planned $44 billion purchase of Twitter is “temporarily on hold” pending details on spam and fake accounts on the social media platform. The Tesla billionaire's tweet Friday is another twist amid signs of internal turmoil over the proposed acquisition. The Senate on Thursday confirmed Jerome Powell for a second four-year term as Federal Reserve chair, giving bipartisan backing to Powell's high-stakes efforts to curb the highest inflation in four decades. The 80-19 vote reflected broad support in Congress for the Fed's drive to combat surging prices through a series of sharp interest rate hikes that could extend well into next year. The Fed's goal is to slow borrowing and spending enough to ease the inflation pressures. In sports, the Heat advance to the NBA's Eastern Conference finals, the Blues are in the second round of the NHL playoffs, and the Mets win another series. Correspondent Tom Mariam reports. House investigators say they have issued subpoenas to House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and four other GOP lawmakers as part of their probe into the violent Jan. 6 insurrection. It's an extraordinary step that has little precedent and is certain to further inflame partisan tensions over the 2021 attack. The Jan. 6 panel's subpoenas for McCarthy of California and Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama come as the investigation is winding down and as the panel prepares for a series of public hearings this summer. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said President Joe Biden did all that he could to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic since taking office. Biden appealed to world leaders for a renewed international commitment to attacking COVID-19 as he leads the U.S. in marking the “tragic milestone” of 1 million deaths in America. North Korea has ordered a lockdown after confirming its first coronavirus case. Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike will not run in the Preakness. Owner Rich Dawson made the stunning announcement 10 days before the race in Maryland. It means there will not be a Triple Crown winner for a fourth consecutive year. Twitter fired two of its top managers Friday, the latest sign of internal turmoil amid Tesla billionaire Elon Musk's planned buyout of the company. Twitter confirmed the departures and said the company is pausing most hiring and except for business critical roles. Astronomers have unveiled the first wild but fuzzy image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Nearly all galaxies, including our own, are believed to have these giant black holes at their center, where light and matter cannot escape. That makes it extremely hard to get pictures of them. A new congressional report says that in the first year of the coronavirus pandemic, the meat processing industry worked closely with political appointees in the Trump administration to stave off health restrictions and keep slaughterhouses open even as COVID-19 spread rapidly among workers. The report issued Thursday says meat companies pushed to keep their plants open even though they knew workers were at high risk. The North American Meat Institute trade group says the report distorts the truth and ignores steps companies took to protect workers. Mercedes-Benz is telling the owners of more than 292,000 vehicles in the U.S. to stop driving them because the brakes could fail. The automaker is recalling the vehicles and says it will offer free towing so owners can get them to a dealership for service. The recall covers certain ML, GL and R-Class vehicles from the 2006 through 2012 model years. The company says it has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will inspect the booster and replace parts as needed. Owners will be notified by letter starting May 27.

In Ep. 64 of MeatingPod, we're talking about the latest science informing Appendix A & B guidance documents with Bob Hanson, principal of Hanson Tech LLC and Jeff Sindelar, professor and extension meat specialist with the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As members of the North American Meat Institute's Appendices A & B Core Working Group, Jeff and Bob have been at the center of the group's review of the science gaps in the 1999 and 2017 versions of the lethality and stabilization guidance documents to determine possible solutions. In this episode, they give us the scoop on how the various research activities will help meat and poultry processors better utilize the 2021 Appendix A & B revised guidance, which comes into effect in December 2022.
Although inflation has broadly scattered across the economy, it is the food we buy where inflation's bite is the most obvious. The Biden Administration has pointed the finger at industry consolidation as the culprit. It proposes a rewrite of the regulations implementing agricultural antitrust statutes as the remedy. Industry disagrees that consolidation is to blame and looks warily at the proposed regulations as harbingers of what is to come for antitrust policy more generally. What is to blame for $18/pound beef, and what if anything can be done to counteract the rapid price increases at the grocery store? How will businesses respond to the proposed regulatory changes? Sean Heather of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; Mark Dopp, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel of the North American Meat Institute; and Joe Maxwell, president of Farm Action and former Lieutenant Governor of Missouri will discuss the policy and legal options available. Judge Stephen Alexander Vaden of the U.S. Court of International Trade and former General Counsel of the U.S. Department of Agriculture will moderate the panel.Featuring:-- Mark Dopp, General Counsel, the North American Meat Institute-- Sean Heather, U.S. Chamber of Commerce-- Joe Maxwell, President, Farm Action -- Moderator: Hon.

They also share about their passion and how they currently help other women in their professional development.
A White House "fact sheet" says the bipartisan infrastructure deal WILL improve the supply chain, and the North American Meat Institute says the Grassley-Fischer bill to improve fairness in the cattle market ignores analysis from the nation's leading ag economists.
Author, Business for Good Podcast host and The Better Meat Co. CEO Paul Shapiro joins Earth911 to explain prospects for clean meat made from fungi, animal cell cultures and plant-based proteins. The future of meat will involve far fewer animals raised on inhumane industrial farms, which are known as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, or “CAFOs.” In a CAFO, animals are packed into small spaces polluted by their own waste; it's a horrible life that ends in terror. Better Meat has developed fungi-based protein, called Rhiza, that can augment beef, chicken, pork, turkey, fish and shellfish in recipes, lowering our own environmental impact and reducing the cruel treatment of animals. But the story only starts there, he explains how cultured meats grown from animals cells, known as clean meat, is more sanitary -- it is not exposed to viscera and fecal matter during slaughter, because there is no slaughter -- and can be produced at large scale within the decade.Paul argues that we need to stop subsidizing meat production and fund more research into meat alternatives. Like Big Oil, Big Meat has an unfair advantage that can be turned toward incentives for clean meat. Meat consumption is on the rise globally and in the U.S. we consume 9 billion chickens, 32.2 million cattle, 241.7 million turkeys and 121 million hogs annually, according to the North American Meat Institute. That's about 100 billion pounds of meat annually. By contrast, clean meat alternatives still account for less than 1% of the meat sold in the U.S. There's a long road ahead, and this interview is an opportunity to meet an early leader is the post-industrial meat movement.

The Supreme Court of the United States has rejected the meat industry's challenge to a California law prohibiting cruel confinement of farmed animals! This is a HUGE victory for animal rights and the animals themselves! On June 28, 2021, the Supreme Court of the United States rejected the North American Meat Institute's (NAMI) challenge to California's Proposition 12. Proposition 12 is due to go into effect on January 1, 2022. It strengthens existing California law to ban the intensive confinement of egg-laying chickens, mother pigs and calves used in the veal industry. The law also prohibits the sale in California of eggs, pork and veal from facilities that confine animals in cruel cages. Voters adopted Proposition 12 in 2018. When NAMI sued California in an attempt to stop the state from implementing Proposition 12, Animal Outlook voluntarily intervened in the lawsuit on behalf of the State of California to defend Proposition 12 and protect the millions of hens, pigs and calves used to produce meat and eggs sold in California. Animal Outlook was joined by Animal Equality, Animal Legal Defense Fund, Compassion in World Farming, Farm Sanctuary, the Humane League and the Humane Society of the United States. In rejecting NAMI's challenge, the Supreme Court upheld an appellate court's denial of NAMI's claim that Proposition 12 violated the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court's decision affirms the right of states to pass laws protecting animals, public health and safety. While an appeal in a second lawsuit against Proposition 12, brought by the National Pork Producers Council, still looms, the Supreme Court's decision against NAMI is a massive victory for animals. AnimalOutlook.org is a great site to visit to get involved and learn more. Here to discuss all this is Animal Outlook's legal counsel Will Lowrey.

Eric Mittenthal, VP os Sustainability at the North American Meat Institute, joins us today to talk about a new joint initiative. Protein PACT is an initiative that is focused on sustainability for the people, animals, and climate for tomorrow.
In June, the US Supreme Court denied, without comment, the North American Meat Institute's petition to review its appeal challenging the constitutionality of Proposition 12, California's animal confinement law that will go into force in 2022. The Institute vowed to keep up the fight against the law and began consulting its members as to next steps the industry should take. The high court has declined to settle this issue, so what lies ahead for producers? Is there still time for producers to comply? MEAT+POULTRY caught up with Christine McCracken, senior analyst-Animal Protein at Rabobank, and Jeff Tripician, president of Perdue Meat Co., which owns Coleman Natural pork brand, to get some insights into the opportunities and challenges of complying with California's Prop 12. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/meatpoultry-podcast/message

This week's Open Mic guest is Julie Anna Potts, president and CEO of the North American Meat Institute. Few segments of the food industry were forced to adapt as quickly to the COVID-19 pandemic to meet consumer demand as members of the North American Meat Institute. Now, Potts says, the meat industry is looking forward to a new normal and embracing new challenges including a court challenge to California's Proposition 12 ballot initiative that threatens to wreak havoc on interstate commerce of meat. Potts says resolving labor issues remains a top priority for the meat industry as well as securing the safety of their existing workers from COVID-19.
The North American Meat Institute filed for Supreme Review of California’s Proposition 12 and the Tenth Circuit dissolved the Colorado district court’s injunction against the Navigable Waters Protection Rule. Then, Pennsylvania-based Nicholas Meat briefly stopped production in response to a compliance order issued by Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection and the Pennsylvania Milk Marketing Board released its final regulation on cooperative over-order premium disclosures.

On this episode of the Animal Law Podcast, I welcome back Rebecca Cary of the Humane Society of the United States to speak with us about the recent decision from the Ninth Circuit in North American Meat Institute v Becerra, in which the court upheld Proposition 12 in the face of arguments by the plaintiff that it violates the Dormant Commerce Clause. Proposition 12 is, of course, the California ballot initiative that, among other things, imposed a sales ban in California on products that don't comply with certain California laws regarding the treatment of certain farmed animals. As we discuss on this episode, sales bans are a vital tool in protecting states' ability to make their laws regarding the treatment of animals effective, and they are, as a result, vehemently opposed by animal use industries. This is an important case, indeed. Rebecca Cary is a Senior Staff Attorney at The Humane Society of the United States, where she has worked since 2010 in the Animal Protection Litigation section. The bulk of her work focuses on farm animals and constitutional defense litigation. She graduated from Northeastern University School of Law in 2009, where she successfully petitioned the school to include an animal law class in its curriculum.

Usually, National Hot Dog Day for the North American Meat Institute is one of the bigger events in Washington during the summer. Franks hit the grill as politicians and industry leaders enjoy a few hot dogs together. However, with COVID-19 still a major issue across the country, NAMI decided to turn this annual celebration into a chance to give back to communities across the country. In this episode of the podcast, returning guest, Eric Mittenthal vice president of sustainability at the North American Meat Institute, discusses the recent food drive with Feeding America to donate hundreds of thousands of hot dogs around the country. In another segment, Mittenthal mentioned a revitalized campaign this year called Wiener Wednesday as a chance for consumers to enjoy their hot dogs weekly. During the podcast, Mittenthal also covers what NAMI has done during the pandemic to help members along with future projects the group has for the industry.
