Common questions about food manufacturing websites

Do USDA rules apply to my food company website?

Yes. FSIS considers your website part of your labeling and marketing. Product claims like "Product of USA," "no antibiotics ever," and "natural" must meet USDA definitions. As of January 2026, the "Product of USA" rule requires animals be born, raised, slaughtered, and processed entirely in the U.S.

What is the CA Transparency in Supply Chains Act?

SB 657 requires companies doing business in California with $100M+ worldwide revenue to disclose their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their supply chains. A conspicuous homepage link is required covering verification, auditing, certification, accountability, and training.

Do food manufacturers need Prop 65 warnings on their website?

If you sell directly to California consumers online, yes. Internet sales require Prop 65 warnings before purchase completion. The 2025 amendments require identifying specific chemicals. Many food products contain naturally occurring Prop 65 chemicals like acrylamide, lead, and cadmium.

What ESG disclosures do food companies need?

SEC climate disclosure rules effective 2026 require Scope 1/2 emissions reporting for large companies. SASB has food-manufacturing-specific metrics including water, energy, waste, and animal welfare. Major retailers increasingly require sustainability data from suppliers.
