USDA rules require water content labeling for raw meat
The Agriculture Department will require processors to disclose added water in raw meat and poultry and justify it as antimicrobial treatment. The rule, mainly affecting chicken, adds a penny per pound cost and aims to inform consumers while livestock groups contest prior practices. The rules take effect in a year as the Clinton era winds down and a broader meat labeling push continues.

Icebreakers Explained How Coast Guard Keeps Great Lakes Open
In bitter Midwest winter temperatures large parts of the Great Lakes freeze early, delaying freighter deliveries. A fleet of icebreakers led by USCGC Mackinaw clears lanes with distinct hulls, propeller setups, and a bubbler system. The Mackinaw uses a third propeller to sag ice, while buoy tenders ride up and break through ice, and tugs push air bubbles to reduce friction.

Ice bound Great Lakes demand urgent Coast Guard work
Coast Guard icebreakers clear routes as frigid conditions slow freighters on the Great Lakes. The Mackinaw and Bristol Bay cut a path for several vessels while Lake Superior and Lake Huron remain largely frozen. Experts cite the worst ice since 1976 and warn persistent cold could lift water levels and threaten spring floods.
