Joint resolution urging Congress to support MCOOL
SJ 25 is a joint resolution from the Montana Legislature urging the United States Congress to implement mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef and pork products. The resolution highlights that these labeling requirements were removed for beef and pork in 2015, while other food products still have them. It states that consumers desire to know the origin of their food and that transparent labeling contributes to a competitive marketplace for American producers. The resolution directs that copies be sent to the Montana Congressional Delegation, the Governor, and relevant federal officials.
