Protecting Common Food and Wine Names in Foreign Markets
This act aims to protect the ability of American food and beverage producers to use common product names, like "Parmesan" or "Swiss," in foreign markets. This ensures citizens can continue to find their favorite US products under familiar names globally, supporting American exports and the economy.
Key points
The act defines "common names" for agricultural and food products, including cheeses, meats, wines, and beers, that are widely used.
The U.S. government will negotiate with other countries to secure the right for American producers to use these names internationally.
The goal is to protect the export of American food and beverage products, which can lead to stable prices and product availability for consumers.
