Hageman Reintroduces Bill Requiring Country Of Origin Labeling For Beef

In the wake of President Donald Trump signaling support for increasing low-tariff beef imports from Argentina to remedy record beef prices, Wyoming’s lone U.S. House delegate introduced a bill to require country of origin labeling.

If it becomes law, the Country of Origin Labeling Enforcement Act would reinstate the labeling requirements for beef and raise fines for those falsely labeling their beef as made in the U.S.A.

The bill also dictates that no ruling from an international body, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), could impact America’s ability to require the labels.
