New Beef Labeling Rules: Only US-Born, Raised, Slaughtered for "Product of USA"
This act changes the rules for labeling beef products. From now on, for a product to be labeled "Product of USA," the meat must come exclusively from cattle born, raised, and slaughtered within the United States. This aims to ensure that the "Product of USA" label on beef genuinely signifies that the entire production process occurred domestically, potentially influencing consumer purchasing decisions.
Key points
Beef labeled "Product of USA" must be exclusively derived from cattle born, raised, and slaughtered in the United States.
This change aims to increase transparency regarding meat origin for consumers.
