The most recent growth in the food industry had been in organic products. It’s definitely a giant step forward; however, the labels on organic meats are notoriously misleading.

The whole point of organic produce is that you are eating natural food as nature intended; no additives or pesticides and farmed by trainer farmers who know their stuff. You should be able to buy this and feed it to your loved ones with a completely clear conscience.

So if they can do such a good job with the fruit and vegetables, how come that the meat side of it is, shall we say, a grey area?

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?

There’s always someone banging on about battery hens and the way animal are treated etc, and these are the ones bound for the slaughterhouse. Surely we should know how the animals who provide organic meat are being housed and looked after.

Yes, we all grateful that the guidelines for their feed is so strict. It is very reassuring that we aren’t consuming their antibiotics, or hormones etc but I personally want to know about their living conditions.

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.
