Olive Oil Standards Act

HR 6747, the Olive Oil Standards Act, directs the FDA to establish federal standards for olive oil grades sold in the U.S. It creates specific quality and purity requirements for eight types of olive oil (including extra virgin, virgin, refined, and pomace oils) and mandates standardized testing methods from recognized organizations. The bill requires clear, accurate labeling that matches the oil's grade and prohibits misleading descriptions. These standards directly affect commercial producers, bottlers, and marketers of olive oil in the United States. The FDA must report to Congress within 120 days of the bill's enactment.
