The proliferation of national Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) measures in recent months is a result of a provision in the EU’s Food Information to Consumers (FIC) regulation that provides a way for individual Member States to enact mandatory COOL rules. Eight Member States now have national level COOL measures that are in effect or in process. This report provides an overview of the EU’s rules on COOL including the process for introducing national COOL requirements.
