AMS Extends Comment Period on COOL Requirements to Venison

The Agricultural Marketing Service is extending until April 13 the comment period on a proposal to subject muscle cuts of venison and ground venison to country of origin labeling (COOL) requirements, it said (here). The agency’s Jan. 13 proposed rule would add venison and ground venison to the list of products covered by the COOL regulation, which currently includes lamb, chicken and goat, each in both muscle cut and ground forms (see 1701120016).
