🍽️ AAW Policy Bites: Trade & Market Access

Topic: Country-of-Origin Labeling & Food Identity

Consumers deserve transparency, and American producers deserve fair recognition. AAW supports clear, truthful country-of-origin labeling (COOL) and the enforcement of food identity standards to ensure imported products are not misrepresented as U.S.-grown.

📌 Our Position:AAW believes consumers have a right to know where their food comes from. We advocate for strong labeling standards and oppose deceptive practices that mislead consumers or disadvantage American farmers in the market.

🌾 Why It Matters:When foreign products are falsely marketed as U.S.-grown, it erodes consumer trust and undermines the work of American producers. Accurate labeling protects the integrity of U.S. agriculture and helps consumers make informed choices.
