It's a can that's been kicked down this road for more than 20 years now, but labeling food products specifying country of origin remains one of agriculture's biggest beefs.

U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, is sponsoring a bill that would prohibit beef retailers from designating foreign beef as an American-made product. The legislation, dubbed The Country of Origin Labeling Enforcement Act, defines U.S. beef as "exclusively born, raised, slaughtered and packaged in the United States.”

In March 2023, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), through the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), issued a proposed rule mandating electronic identification (EID) ear tags for cattle and bison.

This centralized mandate infringes on the privacy rights of U.S. farmers and ranchers, threatens their livelihood and furthers vertical integration of the beef supply chain for a major industry.

Congresswoman Harriet Hageman’s (R-WY) amendment would prohibit USDA funds from being used to finalize and implement this harmful rule.
