Final Rule On Meat Labelling Law Issued
US - A final rule implementing the Mandatory Country-of-Origin Labelling (M-COOL) law provides flexibility for the US pork industry but remains a costly and potentially cumbersome statute, said the National Pork Producers Council. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued this final rule yesterday. The rule becomes effective on 16 March, 2009, 60 days after the date of publication.
