    Criticism of Japanese Wagyu imports

    Critics argued that importing Japanese Wagyu conflicted with Crowd Cow’s earlier emphasis on local American farms and could disadvantage U.S. ranchers. The controversy prompted the company to remove “local” and “sustainable” from its mission statement. The dispute was a sourcing and positioning controversy rather than a documented finding of unlawful conduct.
