U.S. Meat product regulations
Description: What factors have caused meat product regulations, such as labeling and inspection, to change since 1990 in the U.S.?
Narrative: Any information on product labeling and the definition of such terminology
(such as "fresh", "free-range", etc.) is on topic. Stories about batches of recalled
meats and the subsequent repercussions are on topic, as well as meat-related governmental measures taken to improve public health (e.g., were they to prohibit the use of Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone). Animal-protection issues, unless they further restrictions placed on the U.S. meat market, are off-topic.

Annotator
Whether or not regulations on meat are more stringent due to the threat of bioterrorism. I wonder if the use of steroids and antibiotics in meat is tightly regulated. What does "fresh" mean with regards to meat? Does it differ between species of meats?
