A coalition of farm and agricultural groups is applauding a bipartisan letter sent today by 111 members of Congress urging stronger protections for American-made food and wine exports using common terms.
The letter asks the U.S. Trade Representative and USDA to make safeguarding common food and wine terms a core policy objective in all current and future trade negotiations.
The Consortium for Common Food Names (CCFN), the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC), National Milk Producers Federation, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the North America Meat Institute, the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture and the Wine Institute praised a bipartisan Senate letter sent July 30 to U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer and U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue.
Food producers and organizations from multiple countries have launched the Consortium for Common Food Names to stop efforts to restrict the use of generic food names, including such efforts by the European Commission.
