Summary: The American Pastured Poultry Producers Association is calling for stricter FDA regulations on "Pasture Raised" egg labeling. They argue that current labeling allows for "greenwashing" where birds are kept indoors most of their lives, and they want requirements that ensure chickens are actually raised on pasture.
Stop greenwashing!!! Fake Pasture Raised Eggs represent a $2 Billion market chock full of greenwashing.
Birds living indoors for 98-100% of their lives and their eggs being sold at a premium for "Pasture Raised".
Some of these birds have never touched an actual pasture in their entire lives.
So a group of 1,300 pastured poultry farmers said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
They rallied together and filed a Citizen Petition to the FDA to clean up egg labeling, requiring chickens to actually be raised on pasture if they are labeled that way. Clean up the language
