Sustainable Table offers free food safety, carbon imprint and other info

On Monday, USDA regulations went into effect requiring the nation’s grocers and food wholesalers to label beef, pork, lamb, chicken, goat meat, fish and shellfish with the label of origin. Whether concerned about a food’s safety, its carbon footprint, the politics of the country where it was grown, or all of these, consumers today want to know where their food came from and how it was produced. Sustainable Table’s free downloadable pocket guides make it easy for busy shoppers to decode the growing number of often confusing food labels found in stores. Designed to print, fold, and carry in a pocket or purse, Sustainable Table's Glossary of Meat Production Methods and other portable shopping guides augment the nonprofit’s on-line Sustainable Dictionary and cornucopia of free resources for making well-informed food choices.
