## Summary

**Strengthens country-of-origin labeling for beef** by explicitly adding beef and ground beef to the labeling rules and changing penalties for mislabeling. It also clarifies that international trade rulings cannot limit the Secretary of Agriculture's authority to require these labels. - Households and shoppers: Requires beef and ground beef to carry country-of-origin labels so consumers can see where their meat comes from. - Retailers, processors, and importers: Raises legal risk with a mixed penalty structure. General violations remain $1,000 each and mislabeling beef can trigger fines of $5,000 per pound. - Producers and regulators: Defines beef as a covered commodity so it is treated like lamb and venison under the law. The measure bars World Trade Organization or similar rulings from reducing USDA authority to enforce these labeling rules.
