Sacred Heart University Polling Institute conducted a survey on food and COOL. The results are not surprising.
* Nearly
69 percent of the 1,000 Americans polled indicated they check labels
for nation of origin, up from 53 percent a year ago, the institute said.
* 86 percent agreed with a statement calling for suspension of
Chinese imports until China meets U.S. product and food-safety
standards.
* 87 percent indicated they have confidence in American-made and distributed products and food.
* Fewer than half of Americans surveyed (47 percent) agreed that
the United States is doing a good job ensuring imports meet set safety
and quality standards.
Sherrod Brown intends to introduce a bill, this fall, that all food should have country of origin labels.
