Bipartisan Bill Seeks to Reinstate MCOOL Labeling for U.S. Beef
Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., have reintroduced the Country of Origin Labeling Enforcement Act.
This legislation aims to restore mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef, which was abandoned in 2016 following a World Trade Organization ruling.
“American consumers deserve accurate information on the products they buy, and U.S. ranchers deserve honest and fair competition in the marketplace.
The change in 2016 lifted the profit margins of big packers at the expense of American ranchers, but the domestic market is now providing means for producers to keep family ranches alive.
The bill seeks to provide full transparency of the origin of beef in the marketplace, protecting American ranchers and promoting fair competition.
