A Hit And A Miss For Meat Labeling Regulations
Briefly

While recent updates to meat labeling by the USDA's FSIS aimed to improve transparency, they still lack comprehensive measures for environmental impact assessment.
The FSIS guideline introduces precise definitions for animal-raising claims but fails to ensure consumers have easy access to substantiating information.
Despite the FSIS emphasizing the need for independent verification of claims, there remains a lack of mandatory third-party certification, limiting consumer trust.
New rules from FSIS provide better substantiation for claims like 'Grass Fed' but the cumulative effect is muddled by producer-specific labels in stores.
