USDA plans to purchase meat and fish products for distribution to the National School Lunch Program and other federal food nutrition assistance programs.
ASMI commends the Biden-Harris Administration and USDA for improving the nutrition value of the WIC food packages and further by adding more seafood to their entire array of nutritional programs.
The USDA releases bids for more than 1.4 million cases of canned Alaska pink salmon, 300,000 cases of canned Alaska sockeye salmon and 15 million pounds of Alaska pollock fish sticks and fillets.
USDA's AMS is clarifying that meat products it purchases for nutrition assistance programs must be from animals that are born, raised and slaughtered in the United States to meet domestic origin requirements.
