Inside organic labels on meats
Posted on Jul 7th 2007 2:32PM by Martha EdwardsFiled Under: Alternative & Green Health
So what does it mean when you buy organic or free range meats? You might envision happy cows, chickens and pigs frolicking through open pastures and meadows, stopping occasionally for a snack of fresh grass or a drink of pure, clean spring water.
Ok, maybe unlike me you're a bit more realistic. And rightly so -- 'Organic' means only that the animal in question had access to a pasture, and as we wary consumers would expect, some corporations are exploiting this loophole, according to Self Magazine. And they advise this: 'Until new guidelines are enforced, look for products labeled certified humane and USDA certified organic to ensure your food comes from animals that were given space and shelter, plus a diet free of antibiotics or hormones.'
