USDA’s strict “Product of USA” labeling rule takes full effect; Made in USA Inc OTC: USDW certification, traceability, and a new Small Farm Scholarship program.

Made in USA Inc. (OTCMKTS:USDW)

The USDA rule validates nearly three decades of our work. We were already here — providing the verifiable technology American farms and producers need to thrive under the new standard.”
— Adam Reiser, Founder and CEO, Made in USA Inc

FRANKLIN, NC, UNITED STATES, July 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For years, the "Product of USA" label on meat, poultry, and eggs has been misleading. An animal could be born and raised in another country, then shipped to the United States only for slaughter or processing.

What Changed
On March 11, 2024, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a final rule tightening standards for voluntary U.S. origin labeling claims. As of January 1, 2026, the “Product of USA” and “Made in the USA” labels on FSIS-regulated products can only be used when the animal was:

• Born in the United States
• Raised in the United States
• Slaughtered in the United States
• Processed in the United States

All four criteria must be met — no exceptions. For multi-ingredient products, all FSIS-regulated ingredients must meet the same standard; other ingredients (except spices and flavorings) must be domestically sourced; and all preparation and processing must occur in the U.S.

Why This Matters
Previously, “Product of USA” was essentially a processing claim. Imported cattle could be processed in the U.S. and labeled in a way that implied a fully American product. This undercut American ranchers and misled consumers. The new rule closes that loophole. When you see “Product of USA” today, it truly means what it says.

What This Means for Producers
The label remains voluntary, but users must maintain written documentation including traceability records, segregation controls, and signed affirmations of truthfulness. FSIS can audit these records at any time.

2.5 Million American Farms Need This

There are over 2.5 million farms across the United States — most small, family-run operations proud of their American products. The new rule finally protects them from misleading imported competition, but compliance requires robust documentation and traceability.
That is exactly where Made in USA Inc. delivers value.
The Small Farm Scholarship Program
Made in USA Inc. created a dedicated scholarship for farms with $100K–$500K in annual revenue to ease the burden:

Small Operations License with full platform access ($150/mo value)
AI Readiness Service for compliance and documentation ($79/mo value)
AI Discovery Starter for product visibility and certification ($29/mo value)
$6,150+ in waived setup, audit, registration, and SKU onboarding fees
First-year savings of $9,246+
