The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Boudreaux Butt Paste It all started back in the late 1970s. I was a pharmacist in Covington, Louisiana. Back then, the local pharmacist was like your local doctor. Folks would tell me what was wrong, and I could usually give them what they needed. Since I had four kids myself, diaper rash was something I dealt with every day, either at home or at the pharmacy, usually both. I never thought the stuff on the shelves worked as well as it should, so I kept working on different formulas on my own. And I guess the stubborn Cajun in me wouldn't let it rest until I had something. I finally landed on one that worked pretty darn good. Soon, word spread about some ?magic diaper cream.' One day, somebody came in and said, ?Give me some of that butt paste,' and the name stuck. By the late ?90s, it had gone from my drugstore to the biggest stores in the country. It's the bright yellow box with the funny-looking baby on it. We call him Booty, short for Boudreaux in Cajun Country. I think the name kinda suits, don't you? |
