Meat package labels contain words that are regulated by the USDA, as well as enticing words to get you to buy. The goal of the USDA is to protect the consumer from marketing terms designed to mislead and sway your purchase. Unfortunately deceptive marketing terminology is common, but understanding labeling can help! Below you’ll find my personal…
