The Meat Institute applauds the Trump Administration’s aggressive response to New World screwworm.
Investments in sterile fly technology, surveillance, animal treatments and stronger federal coordination are critical to protecting America’s cattle herd and strengthening our food security. We appreciate USDA, DHS, FDA, state officials and industry partners for working together to confront this serious threat. Continued vigilance will be essential to keeping U.S. livestock healthy and our beef supply strong.

That's a wrap on National Hot Dog Month 2026. 🌭
America turned 250. We ate millions of hot dogs. Some debates were settled (sandwich: no) while others raged on. We hope you had as much fun as we did.
See you at the grill. 🔥

#NWS statement from President and CEO Julie Anna Potts: "@USDA @SecRollins has provided steady, science-driven leadership by pairing innovative dispersal of sterile flies & significant federal investment to protect the U.S. livestock & poultry industry. We support a careful, phased reopening of the border that reflects both vigilance and confidence in our response plans.
“Importing cattle from Mexico allows beef packers to better meet consumer demand given the tight supply of US cattle. We will continue to support efforts to retain heifers and expand the herd as the best way to address the high price of beef for consumers.”
