That is absolutely not true for any lamb I've ever eaten labeled
"American". However, a few years ago someone (I think it was Marty)
posted the regulations and we had zero parameters for lamb. That was
back when Australian lamb tasted awful, so I could only conclude it
was so they could import mutton and sell it as "lamb".
