AI Summary

  • Urges the United States Congress to reinstate mandatory country of origin labeling (COOL) for beef and pork products

  • Congress passed mandatory COOL for muscle cuts and ground meat in 2008, but repealed it in 2015 following a World Trade Organization case brought by Canada and Mexico

  • Foreign beef and pork can currently be labeled "Product of the USA" if merely processed or packed in the United States, which the resolution characterizes as misleading

  • Asserts that technological advancements now allow accurate tracking of meat origins without costly separation of imported and domestic products
