Call 202-224-3121 to be connected to your Senator and urge them to cosponsor the American Beef Labeling Act.

The American Beef Labeling Act (S.2716) will bring back mandatory Country-of-Origin Labeling (MCOOL) for beef. This legislation will help to subject beef packers' control over the beef supply chain to competitive market forces. MCOOL will empower consumers to exercise choice in the grocery store by informing them of whether they are purchasing domestic beef or beef that is wholly or partially imported. 

Market research indicates that America's consumers are willing to pay more for beef harvested from cattle exclusively born and raised in the United States, and S.2716 will enable the domestic cattle and beef supply chains to be more responsive to changes in consumer demand.

MCOOL is good for meat processing workers and will stem the loss of good-paying jobs in the beef sector. Shrinking U.S. cattle harvests continue to eliminate middle-class jobs within the U.S. beef sector. Without MCOOL, thousands of workers in the U.S. food industry will suffer from job losses and a lowering of labor standards.
