Mass. unveils new seal for local produce, seafood

BOSTON — Massachusetts officials are set to unveil a new label to help consumers identify agricultural and seafood products harvested and processed in the state.

The label says, “Seal of Commonwealth Quality.”

State officials say the seal will only appear on the products of Massachusetts agribusinesses that agree to maintain high food safety and environmental standards.

The goal is to provide information to consumers while promoting Massachusetts agriculture.

The state agricultural commissioner and local agricultural and seafood producers plan to unveil the seal during a press conference Tuesday in Boston.
