Legislative findings and declaration of policy. (1) It is hereby declared, as a matter of
legislative determination, that this chapter is enacted in the exercise of the
power of this state for the purposes of protecting and furthering the public
health and welfare. It is further declared that the cattle industry of this
state is affected with a public interest in that, among other things:
     (a) The production, processing,
manufacture and distribution of beef and beef products constitute a paramount
industry of this state which not only provides substantial and required
revenues for the state and its political subdivisions, and employment and a
means of livelihood for many thousands of its population, but also furnishes
essential foods that are vital to the public health and welfare.
     (b) The stabilization, maintenance and
expansion of the cattle industry of Oregon, and of the state, nationwide and
foreign markets for its products, are necessary to assure the consuming public
an adequate supply of foods which are indispensable in a proper human diet, to
protect, for the state and its political subdivisions, a necessary source of
tax revenue, to provide and maintain an adequate standard of living for a great
segment of the population of this state, to maintain proper wage scales for
those engaged in the cattle industry and to maintain existing employment.
     (c) The essentiality of beef and beef
products in a proper human nutrition and to the maintenance of a high level of
public health is such as to require that the public be made thoroughly aware
thereof, and be protected against misrepresentation and deception, by the
dissemination of accurate and scientific information relative to the healthful
qualities of beef and beef products, their various classifications and the food
values and industrial and medicinal uses thereof, the methods, care and
precautions necessary to their proper production, processing, manufacture and
distribution, and the necessary costs and expenses thereof, and the necessity

products of the highest standards of quality.
