Support Local American Ranchers: Know Where Your Meat Comes From

​

When you see a label that says “Product of USA,” you might assume the meat came from American ranches—but that’s often not the case. Under current regulations, imported meat can be processed or repackaged in the U.S. and still carry the “Product of USA” label, even if the livestock was raised and slaughtered abroad.

 

This can be misleading for consumers and deeply unfair to American ranchers who work hard to meet some of the world’s highest food safety, environmental, and animal welfare standards.

 

American ranchers raise their cattle under strict USDA oversight, ensuring safe, high-quality meat while also adhering to responsible practices that protect land, animals, and workers. In contrast, some foreign meat producers operate under less rigorous standards, which can compromise food safety and environmental impact—yet still compete unfairly in the marketplace under a misleading label.

 

By choosing to support local ranchers and demanding clear, transparent labeling, consumers can help protect American agriculture, promote higher food standards, and strengthen rural communities. When you buy truly American-sourced meat, you're not just getting a better product—you're investing in the people and values that put quality and integrity first.

Disasters don't wait—neither should your preparedness.
