MS HB431

Amends the Mississippi Country of Origin Labeling Law to require retailers to inform consumers of both the country of origin and country of processing for covered commodities at the point of sale.

Expands covered commodities to include turkey and duck alongside existing products like beef, pork, lamb, chicken, fish, perishable agricultural products, peanuts, ginseng, pecans, and macadamia nuts.

Changes labeling requirement from discretionary ("may") to mandatory ("shall") and allows information to be provided via label, stamp, mark, placard, or other clear and visible sign on the product or its display.

Requires suppliers to provide retailers with country of origin and country of processing information, and mandates retailers already labeled with this information need not provide additional labeling.

Establishes enforcement mechanism allowing the Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce to audit businesses, notify violators, provide 30-day cure periods, and impose fines up to $1,000 per violation for non-compliance; effective July 1, 2019.
