I think the biggest issue is that US ratings are limited to USDA classifications, and US cross-bread Wagyu doesn't actually mean anything from a legal standpoint. It would be nice to see this get a bit more locked down, but the SEC/FTC don't have much appetite for how loosely advertising standards are in the US and really never has.
