U.S.A. Beef Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Not yet voted on. This bill is still a proposal: it hasn't reached a floor vote, and its text can change in committee or on the floor before any vote.

U.S.A. Beef Act
This bill modifies voluntary label requirements for cattle meat and meat food products of cattle.
Specifically, the bill prohibits the label for these products from bearing the phrase Product of U.S.A. unless such meat or meat food product is exclusively derived from one or more cattle born, raised, and slaughtered in the United States.
The requirement does not apply to cattle meat or a meat food product of cattle that is intended and offered for export to a foreign country.
As background, the Food Safety and Inspection Service generally provided for a similar use of this label in a final rule published on March 18, 2024.
