COOL Wins Fourth Court Victory

November 1, 2014 By Ron Sylvester Leave a Comment

NFU to Multinational Meat Industry: Stop the Senseless Litigation

The following statement was issued by National Farmers Unions President Roger Johnson in response to the denial by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to the petition submitted by the multinational meat packers for a rehearing and supplemental relief on its challenge to enforcement of Country-of-Origin Labeling (COOL).

“Yet again, the U.S. courts have sided with consumers, farmers and their allies and have upheld the enforcement of COOL. This is now the fourth time that COOL has won in court.

“COOL became the law of the land because consumers want to know where their food comes from and ranchers and farmers are happy to provide that information. Congress understood this basic need and passed this common-sense law.  We urge the multinational meat industry to drop the senseless litigation and allow the law to be enforced.”
