What is meat washing? What are the natural options for natural processors?

Meat washing doesn't mean putting T-bone steaks in the washing machine. It's when an antimicrobial agent is sprayed on meat. The USDA has a 41-page list of allowed antimicrobials, and our processors use the most natural sprays - organic apple cider vinegar and certified-for-organic citric and lactic acids. This is a complicated issue that comes down to choice.

Can you (or should you) compost packaging? Avoid chemicals or save the world?

Although we try to be as natural as possible, chemical exposure is not an “if”. It’s a “when” and “how much” situation.
