According to Whole Foods Market's own quality standards, the grocery chain offers a wide selection of meat that is organic, grass-fed, and animal welfare certified. So, is the meat at Whole Foods organic? The answer is that only meat specifically labeled 'organic' meets the required federal standards, as Whole Foods also sells conventional and other specialty meats.

According to the American Halal Foundation, halal is an Arabic word meaning 'lawful' or 'permitted' under Islamic law. Understanding whether high-grade prime meat is halal requires looking beyond its quality label, as a USDA designation does not guarantee religious compliance.
