Ag department proposes new deboned meat rules
The Agriculture Department proposed changes to federal rules to promote meat with finely ground bone in products like hot dogs. Salvaged meat, allowed for three years, may lower costs and boost supply but faces labeling and naming disputes. Industry argues current limits are too strict and consumer groups fear reduced visibility of bone content.
