H.J.Res.0869

Tennessee HJR0869 urges Congress to reinstate mandatory country of origin labeling for all meat.

Tennessee HJR0869 urges the United States Congress to reinstate mandatory country of origin labeling for all meat. The resolution highlights the benefits of transparency in food origins for American farmers, ranchers, workers, and consumers. It emphasizes that consumers have consistently supported country of origin labeling, which was previously mandated for muscle cuts and ground meat sold at retail. The resolution notes that the labeling law was repealed in 2015, leading to misleading labels on foreign commodities processed in the U.S.
