Yesterday, USDA and the White House were all over social media talking about the “Product of USA” meat label. If you just saw that, you’d think this was something the Trump administration just came up with. It’s not.
As of January 1, 2026, corporations can no longer lie to us with fraudulent “Product of USA” labels. For years, imported meat could be brought into the country and sold under a label that made people think they were buying American food when they weren’t.
We spent six years fighting to fix this. Ranchers were getting undercut, shoppers were being misled, and global meatpackers were cashing in. Now, if a company uses a “Product of USA” label, the animal has to be born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the United States.
