On September 13, 2012, a group of producers of finely textured beef,
commonly referred to by news agencies as "pink slime", has filed a
defamation suit against ABC News, Inc. in the First District Circuit
Court in Union County, South Dakota. The complaint alleges that under
South Dakota Law the ABC News, Inc. portrayal of the meat as unhealthy
was false and defamatory.
The filing of the lawsuit generated numerous inquiries about the suit
and South Dakota Law. The Law Library has created a guide linking to
the filed complaint as well as other legal resources on South Dakota Law
and agricultural disparagement statutes.
