Ready for the COOL mandate?
(January 2008)
We understand that with the impending U.S. mandate on country of origin labeling, you might be concerned about the changes you'll need to make.
Fortunately, in terms of the "nuts and bolts" of handling this data, the Produce Pro system already has the tools you'll need to achieve compliance. Origin codes, once they are set, follow any product lot throughout its lifecycle. And however you decide to state country of origin for your customers, we can also customize your documents and labels to suit.
If you would like to know more about what our system has to offer, whether in terms of origin labeling or of traceability as a whole, don't hesitate to contact us.
