Bill > SF0084

This bill establishes strict country of origin labeling requirements for beef in Wyoming, mandating that only beef derived from cattle born, raised, slaughtered, and processed entirely in the United States can be labeled as a "product of the United States of America," and only beef from cattle born and raised specifically in Wyoming can be labeled as a "product of Wyoming." The legislation prohibits labeling beef with an undeterminable origin or beef processed outside the United States as a U.S. product, and requires cell cultured and plant-based products to be clearly labeled with descriptive terms like "vegetarian," "plant-based," or "cell cultured product." The bill also provides precise definitions for key terms like "meat" and "beef," specifying that meat includes edible muscle parts from animals with certain anatomical conditions, and defines beef specifically as meat from cattle, including veal. The new labeling requirements are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aim to provide consumers with more transparent information about the origin of their beef products.
