WASHINGTON — The U.S. House Agriculture Committee approved a compromise Thursday evening on mandatory country-of-origin labeling (COOL) during negotiations for the new farm bill.
Under the compromise, three labels would be required for meat: one for meat from animals born, raised and slaughtered in the U.S.; one for meat from foreign-born animals raised or slaughtered in the U.S.; and one for meat born, raised, and slaughtered in countries other than the U.S. that would identify it as the product of that foreign country.
The proposal would require ground beef labels to list all countries where the product could have come from.
