WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD-TV) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is working to promote its updated “Product of USA” label, aiming to provide greater clarity for consumers looking to identify products that are truly made in America.
USDA Undersecretary Dr. Mindy Brashears joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report with an update on the department’s efforts.
In her interview with RFD-TV, Brashears explains the need for the updated label and addresses confusion surrounding previous labeling standards. She also outlines what went into developing the new guidelines and how they are designed to improve transparency.
