How it works

Each ingredient uses its top three states from NASS's latest final annual estimate, or the 2022 Census of Agriculture where the annual estimate doesn't cover the main producing states. Processed foods map to their main farm ingredient: cheese and butter to milk, bread to wheat, bacon to hogs. Ingredients NASS doesn't measure by state, like spices, coffee and cocoa, aren't included.
