More Meat Processors Adopt USDA’s Product of the USA Label

Ten more meat and poultry processors have adopted USDA's voluntary “Product of USA” label, expanding a program designed to help shoppers identify products that are sourced and processed in the United States. The label can only be used on meat, poultry, and egg products from animals that were born, raised, harvested, and processed in the U.S., giving consumers greater confidence they're supporting American farmers and ranchers.

"When American families buy American products, they should know exactly what they're getting," said Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. "Every new company that adopts this label represents another win for America's ranchers, processors, and rural communities."

USDA also says the program has gained momentum since launching a nationwide awareness campaign earlier this year. Officials added the labeling initiative provides greater transparency for consumers while helping U.S. livestock producers receive recognition for raising animals that are entirely American from birth through processing.
