What it is

This term indicates that animals, typically chickens or cows, spent a significant portion of their lives outdoors grazing on pasture. This contrasts with confinement farming, where animals are kept indoors for most or all of their lives. The specific amount of time spent on pasture can vary by producer.

Why it's used

This term is primarily used as a marketing claim on food products, especially dairy and eggs, to appeal to consumers seeking products from animals raised in more natural conditions. It suggests a higher quality or more ethical production method.

Health notes

The term 'pasture-raised' is not a regulated claim by the FDA, meaning there are no specific standards for its use. While some studies suggest potential differences in the nutritional profile of products from pasture-raised animals (e.g., higher omega-3 fatty acids in eggs or milk), these findings are not universally conclusive. The FDA does not set Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADIs) for such marketing terms.

Allergen info

This term itself does not refer to a specific ingredient and is therefore not an allergen. However, products labeled 'pasture-raised' (like eggs or milk) may be derived from major allergens.
