Belcampo Meat Co. releases third-party nutritional data verifying its pasture-raised meats deliver optimal omega ratios, healthy fat levels and high protein density
Belcampo, pioneer of hyper-sustainable, organic, grass-fed and -finished, and Certified Humane meats, broths, and jerky, just released its new third-party verified nutrition data certifying that its meats deliver significantly better nutrition than conventionally raised animals as well as those not fed grass their full lives. The data shows that all of Belcampo’s meats contain high protein density while its beef contains an optimal Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio, and its pork and poultry contain healthy monounsaturated fat levels. As a leader in regeneratively farmed meat that is better for people, animals and the planet, Belcampo’s recent findings also suggest that not all 100% grass-fed beef and pasture-raised meats are created equal. Belcampo has committed to providing nutrition data on a quarterly basis as part of its commitment to deliver full transparency to consumers about the quality and nutrition of its pastured meat.
“There are many existing studies showing that pasture-raised meats are nutritionally superior, however the term ‘grass-fed’ can still mean the animals are finished on grain at the end of their lives which negatively alters the nutritional make-up of the fats in the meats before it makes it to consumers’ plates,” said Anya Fernald, co-founder of Belcampo. “This new data is really exciting for us because it clearly and scientifically demonstrates why it’s critical that animals are raised and fed on pastures for their entire lives. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids ratios are extremely important for our bodies since they fight off inflammation, decrease the risk of high blood pressure and are proven cancer-fighters, so we’re proud to openly share with our consumers that when they eat Belcampo, they’re truly getting the best possible nutrition to support optimal health.”
