Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
- Regulates the use of animal welfare and method-of-production claims, such as "free-range," by providing specifications producers must comply with to be allowed to use these terms.
Weaknesses
- Only regulates the use of positive terms but does not require the labeling of poultry meat originating from industrial farm animal production.
