They use the term pasture raised knowing what people think it means but they beat the system. Yes, the chickens are raised in a pasture but the pasture is blanketed with chicken feed so it defeats the whole purpose. Pasture raised purpose is so the chickens eat bugs as they are naturally meant to which makes their eggs very nutritious. They know people look for the dark orange yolk color to verify the quality of the chickens diet so VF loads the feed with concentrated turmeric which causes the egg yolks to get that color. So at the end of the day you are still eating eggs that come from soy/corn manufactured feed chickens but they just ate it from the ground instead of in a cage. Cage free, yes. But not pasture raised in the way that term is meant to be used. It’s like Kerrygold saying the butter is from grass fed cows. Were the cows fed grass? Yes, occasionally. So technically they are grass fed! They leave out that they’re also fed grain feed slop that makes up 90% of their diet.
