“In recent years, low-quality tomatoes grown in China have been found in products like tomato paste, allowing bad actors to skirt U.S. trade and forced-labor laws and making it harder for consumers to know what they’re buying. That’s why I’m proud to introduce the bipartisan ROMA Act, which would give USDA and Customs and Border Protection a science-based tool to verify the origin of imported tomato products and better enforce the laws already on the books. This is a commonsense solution that will close a gap in our current system, protect the integrity of our agricultural supply chain, and ensure consumers know what they’re buying.”

Valadao committed to the ROMA Act as a policy solution to verify imported tomato-product origin, improve enforcement, protect the agricultural supply chain, and inform consumers.

Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-02 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

The verified passage shows Valadao materially advanced the ROMA Act by introducing/supporting it, but it describes what the bill would do if enacted rather than proving that USDA/CBP received the tool or that the supply-chain transparency outcome was achieved. With no verified enactment or implementation evidence and no expired deadline, the outcome remains unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
