Trump Lifts Beef Tariffs for 90 Days; Here’s How to Spot U.S.-Raised Meat

Trump has temporarily lifted tariffs on up to 300,000 metric tons of lean beef trimmings for 90 days to ease prices, with the import coming from an unnamed country. To tell if beef is U.S.-raised, look for labels such as "Product of USA" or "Made in USA" and the USDA inspection stamp; note that ground meat can be commingled from multiple countries, and labels like "USDA Prime/Choice/Select" indicate quality, not origin. Safety concerns persist regarding imported meat due to varying oversight.

"USDA Implements New 'Product of USA' Labeling Standard for Consumer Protection"

The USDA has finalized a rule to align the voluntary "Product of USA" label claim with consumer understanding, ensuring that the claim is only used on meat, poultry, and egg products derived from animals born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the United States. Additionally, the USDA is awarding $9.5 million to 42 projects through the Local Meat Capacity grant program to expand processing options for the meat and poultry industry and taking new actions to enhance transparency and competition in the U.S. seed industry. These efforts are part of the Biden-Harris Administration's commitment to promoting competition, fairness, and resilience in the agricultural and food industries.
