Understanding Country of Origin LabelingSince October, meat products have been required by the U. S. government to carry country of origin labeling. We've gotten many e-mails from fans of Nolan Ryan's All-Natural Beef about the new labeling they've seen in stores. We want to set the record straight so you understand what you're buying when you  purchase all-natural beef from Nolan Ryan. Our Premium Reserve Beef, found in Kroger Southwest stores, is “Product of the U.S.” Our guaranteed tender product, sold in Super S Stores, is labeled as “Product of the U.S. and Mexico.”All our beef is produced and processed in the United States. Almost 90% of our beef comes from cattle that are born in the United States with high percentage of that coming from southern states. However, we have to use that label on our guaranteed tender beef because U.S. cattlemen in southern states, for close to two centuries, have sold their genetics to Mexican cattlemen and bought back their calves in return. Some of these calves qualify for our program so, according to the regulations, we have to list both countries as sources on the label. Read more about how Nolan Ryan's beef products are labeled.  We hope this answers any questions you may have. We appreciate hearing your thoughts about this issue so please don't hesitate to send us an e-mail if you have more questions.
