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.

Our Story My name is Jeff, and I am the co-founder of Topline Foods. My family grew up in a small farming community of LeSueur, MN. My Dad spent 30 years with Green Giant as a quality control manager working in the fields with the farmers. Growing up in a small MN farming town, I learned the values of faith, hard work, honesty, and integrity. When I moved to Phoenix in 1997, I quickly learned that those same values weren't as common in the big city. I started to see all the shortcuts that the food industry takes. The commercialization of the farm was really evident when I would drive by miles of dusty feed lots right off the highway. I learned of all the hormones and steroids and antibiotics that the cattle were given and the animal byproducts that they were fed, not to mention the inhumane conditions they were raised in. In 2005 my wife and I were blessed with our first child Carli. Then in 2007 we were blessed again with our son, Caden. Something happens when you become a parent. It's no longer all about you, it's about your kids and doing what is right for them. One thing I knew for sure was I didn't want them eating the normal processed food or conventionally raised meats that are at the typical supermarket. Trying to find organic natural food in the desert is tough. The farmers markets are great, but the selection can be hit and miss. Spending my Saturday dragging kids around in 110 degree heat wasn't my idea of fun (or theirs). The closest Whole Foods was 30 minutes away, and their selection was often disappointing. I knew there had to be a better way. In 2009 I started Topline Foods with my good friend Tom. Our mission was simple, to bring the best naturally raised meats directly to people's homes at a fair and reasonable price, and make it convenient for them. As you review our site, I hope you find that we have accomplished that. We'd love for you to give us a try, we'd be honored to serve you! - See more at: http://www.toplinefoods.com/our-story/#sthash.QNkuXYRe.dpuf |
