The Federal Seed Program prevents mislabeled seed from moving in interstate commerce by providing for random sampling of seeds to insure accurate labeling of seed characteristics. The Pesticide Data Program works with participating States to collect and analyze data on pesticide use and residue levels for selected commodities in the nation's food supply. This program provides statistically based data to Federal agencies for use in making policy decisions for regulatory and educational purposes. Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) is a labeling law that requires retailers (ie grocery stores) to notify their customers of the country of origin for covered commodities: muscle cut and ground meats for lamb, goat, and chicken; wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish (including method of production); fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables; peanuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, and ginseng.
