| | USDA to Tighten Requirements on the Grass Fed Label | |
USDA is proposing to revise requirements for “Grass Fed” labeling claims. While USDA has proposed tightening the grass fed definition to require 99% or more of a grass fed animals diet come from grass or forage, the current definition does not require these animals have access to pasture, or that the use of genetically engineered grass varieties be prohibited, nor does the definition include dairy products.
USDA is accepting public comments through Thursday, August 10th.
