Memorials, Congress - Urges reinstatement of mandatory country of origin labeling for all meat. -

This resolution (HJR 869) urges the U.S. Congress to reinstate mandatory country of origin labeling for all meat products. It seeks to require clear labeling indicating whether meat was born, raised, and slaughtered in the United States versus imported, addressing current labeling that allows foreign meat processed in the U.S. to be labeled "Product of the USA." The resolution directly affects American farmers, ranchers, and consumers by promoting transparency in food origins. It does not create new law but formally requests congressional action to restore labeling rules repealed in 2015, citing consumer demand and support for domestic agricultural competitiveness.
