Olive Oil Standards Act

This bill would require the Food and Drug Administration to set a federal standard of identity for different grades of olive oil. It would also require grade standards for U.S. commercial producers, bottlers, and marketers covering eight olive oil and olive-pomace oil grades, including extra virgin, virgin, refined, and lampante. The standards would include quality and purity measures, approved testing methods, and mandatory labeling rules requiring that product names match the stated grade. The agency would have to report to Congress on its actions within 120 days after the bill becomes law.
