Creates a database to help track where processing tomatoes come from.
This bill would create a new federal database to identify the geographic origin of processing tomatoes, like those used in paste or sauces. This could help ensure that tomato products are correctly labeled and sourced. It would affect tomato producers, importers, and ultimately consumers by providing more information about product origins.
Today, there is no federal database or coordinated effort to track the geographic origin of processing tomatoes using isotopic signatures. This bill would create a new database of these 'geographic fingerprints' for processing tomatoes and fund research to improve testing methods. It would also require federal agencies to work together to use this data for import inspections.
