食品伙伴网讯 据美国食品安全新闻网消息,20日世贸组织裁定美国肉类原产国标签(COOL)属于贸易保护主义,影响加拿大与墨西哥两国肉类出口贸易,违反世贸规则。
2013年美国肉类原产国标签开始实施。按照规定,食品店在出售肉类时,需将产肉动物的出生地、养殖地、屠宰地标出。20日世贸组织发布报告,认为美国的做法打击了进口肉类,保护了美国国内的肉类产品。

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has ruled in favor of Canada and Mexico in an ongoing dispute with the United States over country-of-origin labeling (COOL) on meat.
The latest U.S. labeling rules, put into effect in 2013, require meat sold in grocery stores to indicate the country, or countries, where the animal was born, raised and slaughtered.
