More Meat Companies Join USDA’s Product Of USA Program

The USDA has added 10 more meat and poultry companies to its Product of USA labeling program.

The program, launched earlier this year, allows companies to label products as “Product of USA” only if the animals were born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the United States.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the label gives consumers confidence they’re buying truly American-raised products while supporting U.S. ranchers, processors, and rural communities.

Among the latest companies joining the program are Harris Ranch, One World Beef, Upper Iowa Beef, American Foods Group, Agri Beef, FPL Food, Wholestone Farms, and Harrison’s Poultry.

USDA says expanding participation in the program is part of the Trump administration’s effort to strengthen domestic food production and support independent livestock producers and meat processors.

Legislation Introduced To Break Up Meatpacking Monopolies

A group of House Democrats has introduced legislation they say would increase competition in the U.S. meatpacking industry.

The bill targets the nation’s four largest beef processors—Cargill, JBS, Tyson Foods, and National Beef—which lawmakers say control about 85 percent of the U.S. beef market.

The proposal would limit market concentration, prevent large companies from controlling multiple major meat sectors, strengthen oversight of pricing practices, and provide financial assistance to help smaller processors and farmer cooperatives expand.

Supporters say the legislation would help independent farmers, ranchers, and consumers by increasing competition in the meat industry.
