ALERT: COOL Seafood
Tell USDA "YES" to Country of Origin Labels for seafood.
Country of Origin Labeling, or COOL, is a program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that requires that all seafood products bear a label stating where the fish was harvested and whether it was wild-caught or farm-raised.
This is a good step, however, the program exempts all processed seafood from these labeling requirements. Consequently, only about half of the seafood sold in stores has a COOL label.
At this time, the USDA is seeking public comments to determine the future of the COOL program. CLICK HERE to tell them your thoughts.
