Senator McCaskill concerned over implementation of "COOL" rule in Farm Bill

September 24, 2008 By admin Leave a Comment

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is venting her frustration over what she sees as the wrong way in which Country of Origin Labeling rules for meat and other agricultural goods are being observed.

The Country of Origin Labeling – or COOL – requirements are part of the 2008 Farm Bill and are scheduled to take effect October 1st. McCaskill says the U.S. Agriculture Department is defying the will of Congress by allowing multi-country labeling to replace labeling which would make clear beef or poultry products are from the United States.

McCaskill has written Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer to express her concerns over the interpretation of COOL, saying the U.S. should not be lumped with Canada and Mexico.
