WASHINGTON – The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on Thursday issued an interim final rule on country-of-origin labeling (COOL) and has invited comments.
The rule amends regulation to provide that, to receive approval by FSIS, any label for a meat or poultry product that is a covered commodity, as defined by the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) interim final rule on COOL, must comply with that interim final rule.
