More than two out of every three agri-food items sold around the world are falsely marketed as Italian, despite the fact that they have no production or employment ties to Italy. The United States holds the record, surpassing $40 billion in value from Italian sounding production.  A problem that, with the Trump administration's announcement of tariffs on Made in Italy agri-food, is certain to worsen. According to Coldiretti's analysis of USDA data (the US State Department of Agriculture), the United States produces 222 million kilos of Parmesan, 170 million kilos of provolone, 23 million kilos of pecorino romano, and nearly 40 million kilos of other types of Italian-style cheeses, such as Friuliano. Not to add the more than 2 billion kilos of mozzarella, bringing the total amount of Italian cheese to about 2.7 billion kilos. Not only are 90% of "Italian-type" cheeses manufactured in Wisconsin, California, and New York, but counterfeit products have overtaken the output of genuine American cheeses like Cheddar, Colby, Monterrey, and Jack.
