A new federal law could increase the price of your groceries. The Utah Food Industry Association says the law hits the books next week.

The federal law mandates that supermarkets stamp the country of origin on all meats and produce and some nuts. So, will that raise the price of your food bill? Utah Food Industry Association President James Olson says, "Absolutely it's going to cost money, and those are going to be built into the prices of these products."

There are some exemptions, though. Olson said, "For example, restaurants, those types of places will not be covered." Butcher shops and school cafeterias also are exempt.

The origin of seafood has been labeled for several years.
