Judge Denies USDA Beef Grade Change Plan
Federal Judge Robert V. Denney ruled the USDA cannot alter beef grade standards. He issued a permanent injunction citing arbitrary rules and insufficient analysis of economic impact linking quality to yield. Consumer groups warned railers could pay the same for inferior meat while packers faced higher costs. Denney noted the government argued marbling standards were too strict and cattle producers spent heavily to fatten cattle.
