The USDA definition of "Natural" is "minimally processed, no artificial ingredients, USDA permits no preservatives in the product". Greener Pastures Beef takes this a step further by using no antibiotics or added hormones in the production of our beef. The USDA permits these production claims, which refer to cattle management practices before harvesting.

USDA defines natural beef as a product that is minimally processed with no artificial ingredients or preservatives. Our definition of "natural" goes beyond that of the USDA. Our natural meats come from animals that are born and raised on our ranch (traceability) and are never, fed animal byproducts of any kind. No fed antibiotics are given to our cattle.

The term "natural beef" often misleads people into assuming it's the same as "organic beef." Far from it. "Natural" beef allows of the use of antibiotics, hormones, fertilizers, pesticides, irradiation, carbon monoxide, and other harmful additives.

All stages of production and processing of Verde Farms beef are certified to the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) standards by accredited 3rd-party agencies.

ANSWER - The USDA definition is "minimally processed, no artificial ingredients. USDA permits no preservatives in this product". Most natural beef suppliers take this a step further by using "Production Claims" such as no antibiotics were used in the production of this beef.

This is a processing claim that refers to the package of beef.

The USDA's definition of natural meat is that the meat is minimally processed and free of additives such as preservatives, artificial flavors or colors.

I have the interview and I find it quite helpful, this is why I recommend others read it also. I don't believe the interview offers specific trading advice or recommends specific parameters for a system. I won't hazard a guess why. If you don't want to post the interview I support you in that decision. I'm not trying to manipulate you in any way, I am using my receiving skills and I sense an issue you may want to explore ... or may not.

Most fresh beef you find in the meat case is natural. Natural beef refers to beef that has been minimally processed and contains no additives, which means no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.

Some manufacturers use the term "natural" for marketing purposes.

This ban prevents the transmission of BSE, therefore all U.S. beef ? organic and conventional ? is safe and wholesome. Beginning in the 1980s the industry and government worked together to create a series of firewalls to safeguard the U.S.
