Consumers often find marketing claims such as, raised without antibiotics, cage-free, and grass-fed on protein-based food packaging. USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) offers audit services that provide assurance to customers on the validity of these types of claims.
Through the USDA Process Verified Program (PVP), highly skilled AMS auditors confirm that a participating company is adhering to its own set of standards. This is a voluntary service, provided by AMS to give businesses a way to show products are in fact to the standard on their label.

Transparency from Farm to Market

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposes to amend the definition of “shellfish” in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) by removing the phrase “having a shell” and adding specific taxa. This amendment would clarify that squid, cuttlefish, octopus, and other cephalopods are included within the regulatory definition of shellfish. This action is deregulatory in nature, as it reduces regulatory ambiguity, aligns the Service's regulations with current biological understanding and commercial practice, reduces regulatory burden and is within the Service's purview to amend definitions as needed.
Comments must be received or postmarked on or before April 6, 2026 and can be submitted electronically using the Federal eRulemaking Portal.

As part of FDA’s efforts to Make America Healthy Again, the agency has worked with industry to phase out certain FD&C Act certified colors and has fast-tracked the approval of several naturally derived alternative colors.

"Companies will now have flexibility to claim products contain ‘no artificial colors’ when the products do not contain petroleum-based colors. In the past, companies were generally only able to make such claims when their products had no added color whatsoever — whether derived from natural sources or otherwise. The agency sent a letter to industry providing notice of the FDA’s intent to exercise enforcement discretion related to these voluntary labeling claims."

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration took additional steps to support the transition of our nation’s food supply from the use of artificial petroleum-based colors to alternatives derived from natural sources.
