Flashcards
0/20
Local Food
This term often refers to food that is grown, produced, and consumed within a short distance of its origin, which reduces transportation emissions and supports local economies.
Fair Trade Certified
Products with this label meet standards that ensure safe working conditions, environmental protection, sustainable livelihoods, and community development funds.
Vegan
This label indicates that the product contains no animal ingredients or byproducts, ensuring that it aligns with vegan ethical or dietary choices.
Heritage Foods
Heritage foods come from rare and ancient livestock and crop breeds, and are often preserved to maintain biodiversity and historical significance.
Rainforest Alliance Certified
This label indicates that the product was produced using methods that support the conservation of wildlife, and ensures workers receive fair wages and conditions.
Farmstead Cheese
This term is used for cheeses made with milk from the farmer's own herd or flock, on the same property where the animals are raised, emphasizing freshness and traceability.
Gluten-Free
Products with this label are suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, as they do not contain the protein gluten found in wheat, rye, and barley.
Biodynamic
Biodynamic labeling indicates that farmers follow organic practices but also incorporate astrological planting and harvesting schedules, and treat the farm as an interconnected living system.
Cage-Free
The 'Cage-Free' label indicates that the birds are raised without cages. However, it does not necessarily mean they have access to the outdoors.
Wild-Caught
Seafood with this label indicates that it was caught in its natural environment, which can often result in better taste and texture compared to farm-raised alternatives.
USDA Organic
Products labeled 'USDA Organic' must consist of at least 95% organic content and comply with strict production, handling, and labeling standards.
Hormone-Free
This label can be applied to meat and dairy products and states that no synthetic hormones were administered to the animals during their growth.
Certified Humane
This label ensures that animals were raised with compassionate and responsible farm animal care practices to protect both animals and land.
Made with Organic
Products labeled 'Made with Organic' must contain at least 70% organic ingredients, with strict restrictions on the remaining 30%, including no GMOs.
Non-GMO Project Verified
A product with this label went through a verification process to ensure it was produced without genetic engineering or ingredients derived from GMOs.
Pasture-Raised
Pasture-raised indicates that the livestock was raised for at least part of its life on a pasture, which can affect the quality and taste of dairy and meat products.
Farm to Fork
This term refers to the stages of production of food from the farm, through processing and distribution, directly to the consumer's table, with minimal processing.
Grass-Fed
This label means that the livestock was fed only grass and other foraged foods throughout its life, potentially leading to leaner meat with more omega-3 fatty acids.
100% Organic
Products labeled '100% Organic' must contain only organically produced ingredients and processing aids, excluding water and salt.
Whole Grain
Products with this label contain grains that are fully intact or in larger pieces, rather than ground or processed, providing more nutrients and fiber.
