Updated as of May 29, 2018



The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is establishing a voluntary labeling program for biobased products under section 9002 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, as amended by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. Under the voluntary labeling program, a biobased product, after being certified by USDA, can be marketed using the "USDA Certified Biobased Product" label. The presence of the label will mean that the product meets USDA standards for the amount of biobased content and that the manufacturer or vendor has provided relevant information on the product for the USDA BioPreferred Program Web site. This final rule applies to manufacturers and vendors who wish to participate in the voluntary labeling component of the BioPreferred Program. The final rule also applies to other entities (e.g., trade associations) that wish to use the label to promote biobased products.
