Organic should mean organic right? Well theoretically yet, but there seems to be major discrepancies on the labels of supposed organic meat.

The appeal of organic foods is that it is completely natural, no pesticides or contaminants have been within 100 foot of it and we can feed it to our family in the safe knowledge that we are giving them the best that our plant has to offer.

Although there are no complaints about how organic vegetables are grown and harvested, the meat side of it is decidedly dodgy.

I would certainly have to think twice about paying extra for organic fish. Even though the USDA reckons that all wild fish is organic, what if that fish has chemicals such as mercury in its flesh?

The official regulations regarding the welfare and living condition of the animals that organic meat comes from also seems open to debate.

Where anything organic is concerned, there should be stringent regulations throughout the whole process. We know how much the food is regulated, and it’s good to know that we aren’t consuming any chemicals or antibiotics etc but the living standards should also be regulated.

If your only choice available is organic or non organic, go for the former every time. However, you will see an increasing number of other labels appearing from other organisations. The RSPCA will put its name to meat that it knows has been looked after well during its short life. A biodynamic meat is a step above organic too, so watch out for those too

There needs to be some radical changes to the organic meat industry, and sooner the better. The customer should know that what they read on the labels is the absolute truth. If there is any kind of misconception as to what organic actually stands for, we need to get our weight behind the reputable consumer pressure groups to force these changes through.
