[{"type":"text","content":"CASTLE ROCK, Colo., Jan. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Where Food Comes From, Inc. (WFCF) (Nasdaq: WFCF), the most trusted resource for independent, third-party verification of food production practices in North America, today announced that Lone Creek Cattle Company’s Certified Piedmontese Beef has become the first brand in North America to be certified to The Paleo Diet® standard.
