HB 18-1043

HB 18-1043, also known as the Beef Country Of Origin Recognition System, requires grocery stores and other retailers in Colorado to label beef with information about where it comes from if the meat hasn't been processed or prepared in any way. This means that when you buy fresh beef at a store, you'll see which country it was sourced from. The bill has been signed into law, so retailers will need to start following these labeling requirements soon.
