Country of Origin Labeling Enforcement Act of 2025
This bill amends federal labeling rules for beef products sold in the U.S. It requires clear country-of-origin labeling for beef (including ground beef), expanding existing rules that previously covered lamb and venison. The key change increases penalties for non-compliance: $5,000 per pound of beef sold without required labeling, compared to $1,000 per violation for other meats. These rules directly affect meat producers, processors, and retailers selling beef products. The bill also ensures U.S. labeling authority cannot be overridden by international trade rulings.
