The U.S. Cattlemen’s Association (USCA) continues to support efforts to reinstate mandatory country-of-origin- labeling (MCOOL).
In late October, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY-At large) reintroduced the Country-of-Origin Labeling Enforcement Act. Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT-01) announced his support for the bill in early November, saying that “shoppers should be 100% confident at the point of purchase that what they are getting is what they meant to buy.”
USCA commended Zinke for his co-sponsorship of the legislation. “Mandatory country-of-origin-labeling has been a central conviction of the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association’s advocacy for nearly two decades,” said USCA founder Leo McDonnell. “From our earliest days, USCA has fought for transparent, truthful labeling so that consumers know when they’re purchasing genuine American beef.”
