USDA Adds 10 Firms To Voluntary 'Product Of USA' Meat Label
The label is opt-in, not a ban, and rides alongside a $500 million fund USDA already committed to smaller processors.
- Ten companies joined the label July 10, 2026, tagging meat born, raised, slaughtered domestically.
- The $500 million SPUR program predates this announcement and funds independent meat processors.
- No tariff, quota or import ban accompanies the label; it stays entirely voluntary.
Why it matters: Labeling meat as American is not the same as blocking foreign meat from the market.
