Free-Range Chickens?

May 2, 2007 by Patricia in Product Analysis with No Comments

Free, a word that is not only over used but often abused in marketing-Free-Range Chickens are no exception to this rule.

From the UC Berkeley News Letter;

     “The free-range label means the birds have access to an outdoor pen, via portals on the poultry house. They may never go outdoors, and you shouldn’t picture them roaming free in a big yard.”

“Pastured” may mean nothing more than the cages which the chickens occupied during their short life sit on grass, from time-to-time some one will move the cage to a different spot on the grass.
