What does organic mean?
Dr. John Johnson, D.D.S-Owner of Midwest BioHealth & Pleasant Spring Farm
While organic produce, and even organic dairy, often gets the glory, let's discuss what makes organic meat and poultry organic and why you should make the choice to put better beef on your dinner plate.
If you’ve been tempted to buy organic meat or poultry but you’re not sure what it means, read on! In order to be certified to the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) organic standards farms and ranches must follow a strict set of guidelines. A third-party certifier inspects these farms and ranches annually to ensure the organic standards are met.
Here are a few of the key requirements for organic poultry, cattle and pigs:
Must be raised organically on certified organic land
Must be fed certified organic feed
No antibiotics or added growth hormones are allowed*
Must have outdoor access
The animals’ organic feed cannot contain animal by-products, antibiotics or genetically engineered grains and cannot be grown using persistent pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
