Shoppers who want to determine if their meat, eggs and poultry were “Made in the USA” are expected to find the task easier once a finalized federal rule takes effect. The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Monday announced new requirements for meat and egg producers who use the voluntary “Product of USA” or “Made in the USA” labels. The finalized federal rule only allows the labels on products derived from animals that are born, raised, slaughtered and processed in the U.S. The rule doesn’t take effect until Jan. 1, 2026, but the government encouraged producers to start complying immediately. The labels appear on around 12% of the meat, poultry and eggs consumed in the U.S.
