MN HF3869

Requires country of origin labeling on beef and pork muscle cuts and ground beef/ground pork sold at retail in Minnesota, for both packaged and unpackaged meat products.

Defines "country of origin" based on where the animal was born, raised, and slaughtered, with specific rules for animals processed in multiple countries, imported for slaughter, or ground meat products.

For unpackaged meat, labeling must clearly display country of origin information in connection with the retail display of the product.

Amends the misbranding statute to make failure to comply with country of origin labeling requirements a violation of Minnesota food labeling laws.

Covers "covered commodities" including muscle cuts of beef and pork, ground beef, and ground pork with any added preserving, coloring, or flavoring ingredients.
