Breaking: A bipartisan Safeguarding American Value‑Added Exports (SAVE) Act, led in the Senate by Sen. John Thune and Sen. Tammy Baldwin and in the House by Rep. Dusty Johnson, aims to protect U.S. food producers’ right to use common names like “parmesan,” “asiago,” and “bologna.” The bill would amend the Agricultural Trade Act to define “common names” and label foreign restrictions of those names as unfair trade practices, directing USDA and the U.S. Trade Representative to defend market access and negotiate protections abroad. Dairy and agricultural groups endorse the measure as key to preserving exports and countering EU geographic‑indication barriers. (thune.senate.gov)
