HCR 35 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Urges the United States Congress to reinstate mandatory country of origin labeling

This bill is a non-binding resolution from the Missouri House of Representatives that urges the U.S. Congress to reinstate mandatory country-of-origin labeling for meat products. It directly addresses American farmers, ranchers, and consumers by calling for a return to the 2008 federal law that required labels to distinguish between meat produced domestically and meat imported from other countries. The resolution argues that such labeling helps consumers identify truly American products and supports local producers, though it does not have the legal power to enforce these changes itself.
