☆ Lawmakers are trying to keep meatpacking giant JBS from trading on NYSE, citing links to deforestation

US and UK lawmakers are rallying against an IPO by the world's largest meatpacker, JBS. Brazil says two-thirds of Amazon deforestation comes from converting land into pastures for livestock. Trading on the world's largest exchange would give JBS access to more capital and enhance its credibility. "The company has made repeated claims that it will eliminate deforestation but has not taken meaningful steps to do so." Two-thirds of Amazon deforestation results from conversion to pasture for livestock, according to the Brazilian government.

☆ US allows pork plants to keep operating at accelerated speeds

WASHINGTON, Nov 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Tuesday it will extend for up to 90 days a trial program that allows six U.S. pork plants to operate faster processing-line speeds while collecting data on how the speeds affect meatpacking workers. Some activist groups like Food & Water Watch had opposed the program as a risk to food safety. A judge in 2021 invalidated that rule after the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union, which represents many meatpacking workers, sued the USDA over worker safety concerns. Plants in the trial were also assigned to collect data on how line speeds affect workers and share it with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
