Key points
- USDA recorded a $4.6M award to Leprino Foods to buy cheese meant for U.S. government food donations.
- The product description reads like procurement shorthand for low moisture, part-skim mozzarella delivered unfrozen, packaging code 41125.
- This purchase affects dairy processing and the donation distribution chain, not retail grocery prices directly.
- The record lists USDA as the awarding agency and Leprino Foods as the recipient, but it does not say which donation program will get the cheese.
- The record gives no next date for delivery or distribution; check USDA procurement and distribution postings for follow-up information.
