Country of Origin Labeling Enforcement Act of 2025

Introduced·10/24/25

Country of Origin Labeling Enforcement Act of 2025 prohibits retailers from labeling foreign beef as U.S. origin.

The Country of Origin Labeling Enforcement Act of 2025 amends the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to require country of origin labeling for beef, prohibiting retailers from labeling foreign beef as U.S. origin. The act defines "beef" as meat from cattle, including veal, and increases penalties for non-compliance with labeling requirements for beef. It also ensures that international trade rulings cannot limit the Secretary of Agriculture's authority to enforce these labeling requirements.
