AR-News: (US)Consumer Reports: 2 Types Of Beef Reasonably Safe

[Animalconcerns]

There's been only one case of mad cow disease in the United States, but
it's enough to cause some people to take extra precautions to make the
safest choice when they buy beef.

If you're looking for assurance against mad cow disease, the experts said
that's not easy to find.
...
Consumer Reports Urvashi Rangan is a food labels expert. She said there
are only two types of beef that offer a reasonable assurance of safety.
One is "organic."

"Organic describes an environmentally friendly farming production method
that bans the use of animal byproducts in feed," Rangan said.

Since organic labeling is enforced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
it's considered safe for consumers. The second label to look for is
"biodynamic."
