Beef Labeling Clarity Act

United States119th CongressS-3096Senate
Updated: Nov 4, 2025

Summary

This bill mandates the Secretary of Agriculture to issue new regulations for beef and beef food product labeling within 180 days of enactment. The primary goal is to enhance clarity regarding the origin and processing of beef sold in the United States. A key provision is the elimination of the current "Product of U.S.A." label, which the bill seeks to replace with more specific designations. The legislation introduces three new voluntary labels for beef products. These include "Processed in U.S.A.," indicating substantial transformation in a U.S. facility; "Raised and Processed in U.S.A.," for animals raised in the U.S. for at least 100 days before processing; and "Born, Raised, and Processed in U.S.A.," for animals born, raised, and processed entirely within the United States. These new labels aim to provide consumers with more precise information about the beef they purchase.
