Label Our Beef: The American Beef Labeling Act

Food supply chain ID.

> S.2716 and H.R.7291 will restore mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL) on beef by inserting “beef” and “ground beef'” back into the existing 2002 MCOOL law, which continues today to require country of origin labels on other foods, such as lamb, chicken, fish, nuts, and fruits and vegetables. The “American Beef Labeling Act” (S.2716 and H.R.7291 ) requires all beef, including imported beef, to be labeled as to where it was born, raised and harvested.

Who got rid of this requirement? Who voted for getting rid of it? I'm going to google it... The House of Representatives has voted to repeal country-of-origin labeling (COOL) for beef, pork, and chicken. Texas Republican Rep. Michael Conaway's Country of Origin Labeling Amendments Act of 2015 passed late Wednesday night by a 300-131 vote. Signed by Barack Obama into law.

It was bipartisan.
