Not surprisingly, consumers are particularly sensitive about practices employed or technologies used in foods produced specifically for …

This version of the Food Law Update will discuss two major developments with significant long-term impact on the law of food: the implementation of mandatory country of origin labeling (COOL) for most unprocessed agricultural commodities; and the increasing use of the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agricultural …
