New Beef Labeling Rules: Only US-Born, Raised, and Slaughtered as "Product of USA"

This act changes beef labeling rules to ensure that only meat from cattle born, raised, and slaughtered exclusively in the United States can be labeled as "Product of U.S.A." This aims to increase transparency for consumers, allowing them to more easily identify beef fully sourced from the USA. These changes may impact the availability and pricing of certain meat products.
Key points
Beef labeled as "Product of U.S.A." must come exclusively from cattle born, raised, and slaughtered in the United States.
The new labeling rules do not apply to beef intended for export to foreign countries.
Consumers will have greater certainty about the origin of beef labeled as "Product of U.S.A."
