"AH beef and other meats

ment of Agriculture are pro
duced in the United States,”
Secretary of Agriculture Of
ville L Freeman said today
Secretary Freeman said he
made this statement to end
what he called rumors that the
AgricultiJjre Department is
buying Imported meats for sch
ool lunch and other food dis
tribution programs.
“All contract® require that
meat bought by the U S De
partment of Agriculture must
be produced in the United Sta
tes, in plant® under surveil
lance of UEJDA’a Meat Inspec
tion Service, to make certain
the meat Is of U. S. origin and
meets rigid requirements of
quality, content, and whole
someness,” Secretary Freeman
said
“A further safeguard against
purchase of Imported meats by
USODA is that the Federal Mealt
Inspection Service makes sure
the ongin of imiported meat is
cleaily maiiked, at all ports of
entry ”
Thus far in the current Sch
ool year, TJSDA ha bought 34
million (pounds of frozen,
ground beef and 24 million
pounds ot canned pork 'which
hare been distributed to sch
ools.
