U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins today announced that ten additional meat and poultry companies have adopted USDA’s voluntary Product of USA label, marking continued momentum behind the Administration’s efforts to help consumers easily identify products that are truly born, raised, harvested, and processed in the United States.
“President Trump has made it clear that when American families buy American products, they should know exactly what they’re getting,” said Secretary Brooke Rollins. “The Product of USA label gives consumers confidence that the meat, poultry, and egg products they purchase come from animals born, raised, harvested, and processed right here in the United States. Every new company that adopts this label represents another win for America’s ranchers, processors, and rural communities. USDA will continue working every day to strengthen domestic food production and ensure American agriculture remains the strongest in the world.”
“Origin should never be a mystery. Consumers deserve labels they can trust, U.S. producers deserve recognition for what they produce, and every meat product should be represented honestly for what it is. Working from pasture to package gives us a unique appreciation for the responsibility behind every label. Honest representation honors the work of producers and gives consumers the confidence to know exactly what they’re buying,” said Juan Ramos, Founder and CEO, Fort Worth Meats.
