Introduced·2/4/25

The American CANS Act mandates country-of-origin labeling on the front or top of canned agricultural products.

The American CANS Act amends the Tariff Act of 1930 to require that country-of-origin labeling for agricultural products packaged in cans must appear on the front label or be stamped, embossed, or printed on the top of the can. This change aims to enhance consumer awareness of the national source of these products. The amendment will take effect 18 months after the enactment of the Act.
