Key Points

  • Congress would limit “Product of U.S.A.” labeling on beef to meat from cattle born, raised, and slaughtered in the United States.
  • Beef from cattle that spent any part of their life outside the U.S. could not use “Product of U.S.A.” (or similar wording) on labels sold in the U.S.
  • Shoppers could see clearer country-of-origin signals on beef packages, which may affect what people choose to buy at the store.
  • Meat intended for export would be exempt, so beef shipped to other countries could follow different labeling rules.
  • If passed, meat companies and slaughterhouses would need to track cattle origin more closely to use the U.S.A. label.
