Bill > S3096

This bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture to create new regulations for beef labeling within 180 days of enactment, focusing on eliminating the current "Product of U.S.A." label and establishing three new voluntary labeling options for beef and beef food products. The new labels will provide more specific information about the origin and processing of beef: "Processed in U.S.A." will indicate that the product underwent substantial transformation in a U.S. facility inspected under the Federal Meat Inspection Act; "Raised and Processed in U.S.A." will mean the animal was raised in the United States for at least 100 days before processing; and "Born, Raised, and Processed in U.S.A." will signify that the animal was born, raised, and processed entirely within the United States. These changes aim to provide consumers with clearer and more detailed information about the origin of their beef products, allowing them to make more informed purchasing decisions while giving producers more precise labeling options.
