What does “natural beef” mean to Dakota Farms™?
The term “natural” has been misused by so many food companies that to many it is meaningless. The USDA defines “natural meat” as meat that is minimally processed without any preservatives. Dakota Farms™ defines “natural” as a Never-Ever Growth Hormone and Never-Ever Antibiotic program. Animals are raised on feed that is free of antibiotics and animal by-products, allowing them to mature naturally without using growth hormones.
