Small food manufacturers could benefit from the tax credit if they already source most of their ingredients domestically. However, the credit is structured as a general business credit with a $100 million cap, which primarily benefits large corporations with massive ingredient budgets. Small businesses may face higher ingredient costs if increased demand for domestic commodities drives up prices, and may lack the administrative capacity to track and document their sourcing percentages for compliance.
Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
