Definitions:

Grain-fed Beef

• Grain-fed beef is the most widely produced kind of beef by the approximately 800,000 beef producers across the United States.

• Grain-fed cattle spend most of their lives eating grass in pastures, they then move on to a feedlot where to they eat a high-energy grain diet for three to six months.

Grass-finished Beef

• All beef that is grass-fed as cattle spend the majority of their lives eating grass in pastures. However, grass-finished beef comes from cattle that have been raised solely on pasture their entire lives.

• Grass-finished cattle may be entered into the Certified Organic Program and must adhere to the same guidelines. However, grass-finished beef is not necessarily Certified Organic Beef as these cattle may be given FDA-approved antibiotics and/or growth promotants.

Definition of "Natural": also see: http://www.uaex.edu/Other_Areas/publications/PDF/FSA-3103.pdf

According to USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), "natural" may be used on a label for meat if:

  • the product does not contain any artificial flavor or flavoring, coloring ingredient, or chemical preservative or any other artificial or synthetic ingredient; and
  • the product and its ingredients are not more than minimally processed (FSIS Directive 7220.1 Policy Memo 55 "Natural Claims").
  • The definition of "natural" does not consider the way in which animals were raised and or what they were fed so natural beef can be grain-fed, grass-finished or organic as long as it's minimally processed and contains no additives.
  • Some beef products may be labeled "natural" based on a marketer's production specifications, such as "raised without growth promotants and antibiotics."
