Requires labels on fruits and vegetables that have special coatings to extend shelf life.
This bill would require grocery stores to label fruits and vegetables that have special coatings to make them last longer. This means shoppers would know if their produce has these coatings, which are currently not always disclosed. Producers and sellers would need to update their labeling practices.
Today, there are no federal rules requiring labels on fruits and vegetables to disclose if they have special coatings to make them last longer. If this bill passes, producers and sellers would be required to add labels to fruits and vegetables with these coatings, including specific products like Apeel Sciences coatings, starting one year after the bill becomes law.
