not eat any grain. While some claims may not be verified, producers can also elect to be "USDA verified" and consumers who want the most assurance should look for both labels. According to the November issue of Consumer Reports on Health, beef from only grass-fed animals contains about half the saturated fat of corn-fed beef, and higher levels of two potentially beneficial fats: omega-3 fatty acids, also found in fish, and conjugated linoleic acid, which some studies have suggested helps protect against obesity, clogged arteries, and possibly diabetes.

Organic beef is always raised without those ingredients; however, the animals might eat grain, in addition, which would diminish the nutritive benefit described above.
