Bill > HR914

This bill, known as the American CANS (Consumer Awareness of National Source) Act, amends the Tariff Act of 1930 to modify country-of-origin labeling requirements for agricultural products packaged in cans. Specifically, the bill mandates that for agricultural products imported and packaged in cans, the country of origin must be clearly displayed either on the front label of the can or stamped, embossed, or printed on the top of the can. This new labeling requirement will apply to agricultural products imported 18 months after the Act's enactment, giving manufacturers time to update their packaging. The goal is to provide consumers with more transparent information about the source of canned agricultural products, helping them make more informed purchasing decisions about the origin of the food they buy. By requiring the country of origin to be prominently displayed on the front or top of the can, the bill aims to make this information more immediately visible to consumers at the point of purchase.
