I've heard there's now a law about that? Do you know the requirements?
The sticker labels on each piece of fruit (bulk service, at least) bear
the country, I think ‹ my Dole bananas' stickers say Honduras in
teenytiney print. The crates of fruit say where they're from. That's
been the case for as long as I can remember. Do you have a pointer to
the particulars of the law? I'm curious. Thanks.
