The resolution from the House of Representatives of the State of Montana urges the United States Congress to adopt country-of-origin labeling (COOL) for beef and pork products. This initiative aims to provide consumers with clear information regarding the origin of their meat products, thereby enhancing transparency in the food supply chain.
Proponents of the resolution believe that implementing COOL will not only empower consumers to make informed choices but also support local farmers and ranchers by promoting domestically produced meat. The resolution reflects a growing demand for accountability in food sourcing and seeks to ensure that consumers can easily identify the origin of the beef and pork they purchase.
