This joint resolution from the Montana Legislature urges the United States Congress to reinstate mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef and pork products. The resolution highlights that, while other food products still require such labeling, Congress removed these requirements specifically for beef and pork in December 2015. It emphasizes the importance of transparency in food sourcing for consumers and producers alike, asserting that accurate labeling will foster a competitive marketplace.

The resolution references the introduction of the American Beef Labeling Act of 2025 by U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, which aims to restore these labeling requirements. It concludes by directing the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to relevant stakeholders, including members of the Montana Congressional Delegation and key officials in the U.S. Department of Agriculture and trade representation.
