Update on the Grassfed Label claim - Prior

there were are now more than 17,000 19,900 comments
received by the USDA. More comments are still
coming in. We have been assured by the
USDA that all the comments will be tallied and categorized
as soon as time permits. We
thank all our members and partners to making their voices
heard in this process. We will continue to monitor
and update anything we hear from the USDA on this site.
