Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Big fines for mislabeled beef origin
If enacted, fines for breaking origin-label rules would change. For beef, the penalty would be $5,000 for each pound not labeled as required. For other covered commodities, the fine would stay $1,000 per violation. These penalties would take effect upon enactment.
Country-of-origin labels for beef
If enacted, stores and suppliers would need to show the country of origin on beef and ground beef. Beef would appear with lamb and venison on labels and signs. USDA’s power to require these labels would be preserved, even if international bodies rule otherwise. These changes would take effect upon enactment.
