The Biden administration is urging U.S. meat processors to make sure children aren't being illegally hired to perform dangerous jobs at their plants.

The call comes after an investigation found more than 100 kids working overnight for a company that cleans slaughterhouses, handling dangerous equipment like skull splitters and razor-sharp bone saws.

"The use of illegal child labor -- particularly requiring that children undertake dangerous tasks -- is inexcusable, and companies must consider both their legal and moral responsibilities to ensure they and their suppliers, subcontractors, and vendors fully comply with child labor laws," Vilsack said in the letter.

PSSI, which is based in Wisconsin, employs about 17,000 people working at more than 700 locations, making it one of the largest food-processing-plant cleaning companies. The plants where PSSI was found to be employing minors were in Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Tennessee and Texas.

What a joke! All of a sudden when it comes to food they care about child labour. Driving food prices up.

Wow I did not have this on my Merica is nuts bingo card.

Wait, why would this even need to be said!

Electric vehicles companies use child labour. No we won’t eat crickets.

This will be difficult since so much of the meat comes from China.

Meat? Maybe look at the green cost. Because children working along side their parents is good.

Well that's going send beef prices through the roof!
