The Claim
USDA organic certification for beef does not mandate pasture access or a grass-based diet; it requires only organic feed and the absence of synthetic hormones and antibiotics.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.

Beef labeled as USDA organic does not need to come from cows that grazed on pasture or ate grass. The label only requires that the cows were fed organic feed and were not given synthetic hormones or antibiotics.
