BATON ROUGE -- On Tuesday, the Louisiana Senate Committee on Agriculture, Forestry, Aquaculture, and Rural Development met to discuss and hear testimony on an important piece of legislation to be considered for the 2019 Legislative Session. The bill, SB 152 - Truth in Labeling of Agriculture Commodities, includes language for the definition (SOI) for rice, and also establishes distinct definitions for other commodities such as meats and seafood, and how they may be labeled in Louisiana.
