WTO rules against U.S. in meat labeling case


    GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States lost the bulk of its appeal against a World Trade Organization ruling on meat labeling rules on Friday, meaning it may have to stop forcing retailers to display the country of origin on meat they are selling.

    The Appellate Body found said the U.S. country-of-origin labeling rules, commonly known as COOL, were wrong because they gave less favorable treatment to imported beef and pork from Mexico and Canada, which brought the case, than to U.S. meat.
