The Department of Agriculture plans to review the use of language featured on meat labels that many producers have said does not adequately describe the product’s origin.
Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack said Thursday USDA would conduct a “top-to-bottom review of the ‘Product of the USA’ label” to help the department “determine what that label means to consumers,” among other things.
“I am committed to ensuring that the Product of USA label reflects what a plain understanding of those terms means to U.S. consumers,” he said in a statement.
