You have different classifications. You can have free range, organic and organic free range eggs.
Here's the kicker. I can take a large commercial chicken barn and build a small pen attached to it outside where the chickens can get outside a few at a time and it classifies as free range. I can have chickens in and enclosed barn, no outside access and feed them only organic feed and they are organic. Or I can jump through hoops and be honest and do it to where no one could question the free range or organic parts. That's according to USDA, state laws may add to the requirements.
Also under USDA a cow only has to be 10% Angus for you to advertise it as Angus as a grower but once an animal hits a packing plant and is skinned they can call it whatever they want.
The actual organic and sustainable guys have been fighting for a long time to get those rules change with little success.
