Beef Labeling Clarity Act
Sponsored By: Senator Marshall, Roger [R-KS]
Introduced
Summary
Replace the 'Product of U.S.A.' claim with defined voluntary U.S.-origin labels for beef. The Beef Labeling Clarity Act would require the Secretary of Agriculture to issue regulations within 180 days that ban the use of "Product of U.S.A." on beef covered by the Federal Meat Inspection Act and that allow three voluntary labels: "Processed in U.S.A." for beef substantially transformed in a U.S. facility inspected under the Federal Meat Inspection Act, "Raised and Processed in U.S.A." for animals raised in the United States for at least 100 days before processing, and "Born, Raised, and Processed in U.S.A." for animals born and raised in the United States and processed in such an inspected facility.

New beef origin label rules
This bill would require the Secretary of Agriculture to write rules within 180 days of enactment. If enacted, the rules would ban the label "Product of U.S.A." on beef covered by the Federal Meat Inspection Act. The rules would allow three voluntary origin labels: "Processed in U.S.A." (substantially transformed in a U.S. facility inspected under FMIA), "Raised and Processed in U.S.A." (the source animal was raised in the U.S. at least 100 days before processing at such a facility), and "Born, Raised, and Processed in U.S.A." (the animal was born and raised in the U.S. and processed at such a facility). If passed, consumers could get clearer origin information. Producers, processors, importers, and retailers would need to update labels and could face compliance costs.
