TruBeef Verification and Certification

There is a lot of Greenwashing in the meat industry. Many of our competitors are vague in their unproven label claims of being "Grass-Fed", "Pasture-Raised", "Non-GMO", "Hormone-Free", and "Antibiotic-Free". Some even suggest their meat is "Beyond Organic", "Better than Organic", or "More than Organic".

Making baseless marketing claims without any recognized standard or independent third-party verification is the very definition of Greenwashing.

Additionally, "Grass-Fed" does not even guarantee that cattle are raised outdoors in a natural environment on pastures. Nor does the term "Grass-Fed" guarantee consumers the cattle eat organic grass (free of chemicals).

Some "Grass-Fed" producers keep their cattle indoors and use commercial grass pellets or use cut grass heavily treated with chemicals. In short, while the term "Grass-Fed" conjures images of cattle in a clean natural environment, this can be very far from the truth.

• The Problem with the Grass-Fed Label.
• How to tell real / genuine Grass-Fed beef from fake.
• Three (3) NGOs that inspect and verify Grass-Fed farms as genuine.
• How to spot the physical appearance of real Grass-Fed beef and fake.
• The key question to ask a local beef rancher before you buy their beef.

The #TruBeef Way. Certified Organic and 3rd Party Verified.

At TruBeef, we carry the following stringent verification and certification standards:

 

TruBeef is Certified 100% Organic meaning zero chemical inputs on all our family farms. We believe the "Grass-Fed" claim is simply not enough, and for cattle to eat the most natural diet possible, it must be free of all herbicides, pesticides, and artificial fertilizers.

100% Organic status is the gold standard for Organic Certification here in the US, where every aspect of the farming process, supply chain, and chain of custody is fully audited.

Every step in the chain of custody is inspected by independent third parties to ensure all practices adhere to USDA National Organic Program (NOP). With the TruBeef Organic Beef and Lamb range, you can buy with full confidence and assurance there are no chemicals present.

Global Animal Partnership (G.A.P.) is considered the benchmark for Animal Welfare Standards. Many other animal welfare agencies here in the US such as Certified Humane use a "sampling model" that inspects only 10% of farms, but certifies all 100%. G.A.P. on the other hand inspects every single animal, on every single farm in different seasons, every 15 months.

Additionally, agencies such as Certified Humane, use in-house employees as inspectors ~ this is a huge conflict of interest. G.A.P. uses independent third-party inspectors for farm visits.
