American Beef Labeling Act of 2025

This bill, titled the "American Beef Labeling Act of 2025," aims to reinstate and establish mandatory country of origin labeling (COOL) requirements specifically for beef and ground beef products. It achieves this by amending the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, adding "beef" to the list of commodities requiring origin disclosure and defining what constitutes "beef" for these purposes. A crucial provision mandates the United States Trade Representative (USTR) , in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture , to identify and implement a method for these new labeling requirements that fully complies with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules. This determination must occur within 180 days of enactment, with implementation following within one year. The amendments establishing the labeling requirements will become effective either upon the Secretary's official publication of successful implementation or one year after the bill's enactment, whichever comes first.
