So if you see this term on these products, it has no standard meaning. Keeping the barn door open might imply "free". I would not be skeptical if the packaging had "grass fed" printed on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651217485085288423.post-72522421614641225422011-10-25T16:26:22.378-04:002011-10-25T16:26:22.378-04:00I don't know what flier you have.

The word "grass" or "grass fed" doesn't appear on the page I referred you to, but if the cattle are never confined what else would they be eating?<br /><br />I have tried to reach Australian beef and lamb producers at their Washington, D.C., office last summer and more recently without success.Victor E.

My ShopRite flyer does not include the word "grass" anywhere. Does Free Range imply Grass Fed? Is that absolute? I don't think so.
