Eight Companies Join USDA Product of USA Initiative

Secretary Rollins announced that eight additional companies are joining the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Product of USA label initiative.

The announcement

The development adds eight companies to the USDA initiative. The announcement was reported by Clinton County Daily News.

What it means

The companies’ participation increases the number of businesses taking part in the USDA’s Product of USA label initiative by eight. The initiative is identified as a USDA labeling program, but the announcement does not describe changes to the label or set out company-by-company commitments.

What remains to be identified

The announcement does not identify the eight companies, provide a date for their participation, or explain how each company will use the Product of USA label. Those details would help consumers and businesses understand the practical effect of the expansion.
