Beef and ground beef would get clearer 'Made In' labels at stores.
This bill would make sure stores clearly label where beef and ground beef come from. It would also set much higher fines for stores that don't follow these labeling rules. This means shoppers would know more about the meat they buy.
Today, country of origin labels are required for some meats like lamb and venison, with a $1,000 fine for each violation. Beef is not explicitly included in all these specific labeling requirements, and its penalties are not as strict. After this bill, beef and ground beef would be explicitly added to country of origin labeling rules. Retailers would have to clearly show where beef comes from. The fine for mislabeling beef would jump from $1,000 for each violation to $5,000 for each pound of beef that isn't labeled correctly. International trade rulings would not affect the government's power to set these beef labeling rules.
