Food labels can be confusing—but understanding them is key to protecting your health.
ㅤ
USDA Organic: No synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs. Animals are raised without antibiotics or hormones.
ㅤ
Grass-Fed: The animal ate grass, not grains—but unless it says 100% grass-fed, it may have been grain-finished.
ㅤ
Non-GMO: The product doesn’t contain genetically modified ingredients—but it can still be sprayed with chemicals.
ㅤ
Pasture-Raised: Animals spent real time outdoors eating natural forage (a good sign of higher nutrient quality).
ㅤ
Certified Humane: Focuses on animal welfare, not necessarily organic or chemical-free.
ㅤ
The label game is full of loopholes, but knowledge is power.
