U.S.A. Beef Act

U.S.A. Beef Act

This bill modifies voluntary label requirements for cattle meat and meat food products of cattle.

Specifically, the bill prohibits the label for these products from bearing the phrase Product of U.S.A. unless such meat or meat food product is exclusively derived from one or more cattle born, raised, and slaughtered in the United States.

The requirement does not apply to cattle meat or a meat food product of cattle that is intended and offered for export to a foreign country.

As background, the Food Safety and Inspection Service generally provided for a similar use of this label in a final rule published on March 18, 2024.
