Congress Repeals USDA COOL for Beef and Pork
22 December 2015
As part of a massive $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill passed on December 18, 2015, Congress has repealed the mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) program for beef and pork administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS).
The bill, dubbed the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016,” repeals COOL for only beef and pork—COOL remains in place for the other “covered commodities” including lamb, chicken, fish, peanuts, ginseng, pecans, and macadamia nuts.
