National Chicken Council: USDA debuts new regulatory burdens on chicken industry
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced a proposed rule under the Packers and Stockyards Act that would do nothing to lower food prices, increase competition, or reduce inflation, which is a result of policies like these from the Biden administration.
“This is a solution in search of a problem,” said NCC President Mike Brown. “The last thing the Biden administration should be doing is pushing increased regulations, red tape, and costs onto businesses at a time of record inflation and input costs, threatening food security and potentially raising grocery bills even further for Americans. There is a huge misunderstanding in this administration of how businesses operate. Everything this administration has touched has led to increased prices for consumers—whether its gas, home heating bills or infant formula. Chicken seems to be next.
