January 29, 2010, Newsletter Issue #109: Identifying Certified Organic Beef
Tip of the Week
True organic beef is beef that is raised on land that is certified organic. This means the land is free from pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers for at least three years. When beef is labeled organic, you can be assured that the animals were not fed grain, hormones, steroids, or that they grazed in pastures that were treated with chemicals. Be mindful when purchasing organic beef. Many meat dealers will try to persuade you their meat is organic, when it is not. True organic beef dealers will list their practices and be open to questions by you, the consumer. If you have any questions, simply ask. If your questions are ignored, it may be a sign that the meat dealer has something to hide.
