SAFETY Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill tells the Department of Agriculture to work with U.S. trade officials to make sure American food and drink producers can use common product names like "parmesan," "bratwurst," "pale ale," and "basmati" when selling their goods in other countries. Some countries restrict the use of these names, so the bill requires the government to negotiate agreements with foreign countries to protect the right of U.S. producers and exporters to keep using these names on their products. The bill also lists specific common names for foods, wines, and beers that are covered, and it requires the Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Trade Representative to update Congress on their progress every six months.
