USDA launches new bio-based product labeling

With this months new Bio-Preferred legislation America takes one teeny tiny step for the earth and one gigantic leap for the Obama administration.

The BioPreferred program will now be comprised of two parts:

• Mandatory Federal Procurement Preference — USDA designates biobased products that are afforded preference by Federal agencies when making purchasing decisions.
• Voluntary Product Labeling, Launching 2/21/2011 — USDA certifies and awards labels to qualifying products to increase consumer recognition of biobased products.
