mCOOL Information

Due to recent changes in federal law we are encouraging all 4-H members and their parents to learn more about mandatory County of Origin Labeling (mCOOL). The previous provision was repealed for beef and pork in late 2015, early 2016. For updated information on mCOOL, please visit https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/cool.
