Country-of-origin labeling for foods
The 2002 farm bill (P.L. 107-171) required retailers to provide country-of-origin labeling for fresh produce, red meats, peanuts, and seafood by September 30, 2004. Congress twice postponed implementation for all but seafood; COOL now must be implemented by September 30, 2008. In the 110th Congress, a new omnibus farm bill (P.L. 110-246) maintains this date but modifies some labeling and record-keeping requirements and extends the law to goat meat, chicken, ginseng, pecans, and macadamia nuts. Elsewhere, some lawmakers have proposed new COOL requirements for other foods and food ingredients, as part of a proposed overhaul of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

- "The 2002 farm bill (10816 of P.L. 107-171) required retailers to provide country-of- origin labeling for fresh produce, red meats, peanuts, and seafood by September 30, 2004. However, Congress has twice postponed implementation for all but seafood; COOL now must be implemented by September 30, 2008. Some in Congress still strongly support mandatory COOL and want it implemented as soon as possible. Others counter that COOL should be voluntary. The program could again be at issue when the 110th Congress takes up a 2007 farm bill. This report will be updated if events warrant."@en
