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

HCR 9 is a Missouri legislative resolution urging the U.S. Congress to reinstate mandatory country-of-origin labeling for meat products. It specifically seeks to reverse the 2015 repeal of labeling requirements that allowed imported meat to be misleadingly labeled "Product of the USA" when processed in the U.S., rather than indicating its true origin. The resolution states that such labeling would allow consumers to distinguish between domestically raised meat and imported meat, supporting American farmers and ranchers by highlighting products born, raised, and slaughtered in the U.S. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new law but formally expresses Missouri's support for this policy change.
