Protecting Japan's Wagyu Industry: Wagyu Labeling Japan is developing a
labeling system for beef from Wagyu that is designed to stop imports. Under
the proposal, beef labeled 'Wagyu' must be born and raised in Japan. About
a third of the cattle produced in Japan are Wagyu, which is known for its

among consumers about the quality and origin of the meat.' However, Japanese
law already requires that meat be clearly labeled with its country of origin.
