http://www.rawesome.com/ - if that is their web site The web site leaves no doubt on their products being "raw food". I don't see any room for deceptive labeling when that is the whole point of the location. Assuming they are truthful in the statement that this is a co-op, the feds may inconceivably have taken an unexpected step in a surprising direction - exceeding their authority. Who would have guessed that the humble and civil Obama Regime would have overstepped their bounds over something so trivial?

This sort of harassment of food co-ops has been going on for years, it didn’t just start. It has the look of an unholy alliance of federal regulators with large agribusiness. Federal agencies have been writing rules that are convenient for agribusiness and very hard on small farmers. This includes mandatory ID tags on livestock and requiring that they use centralized slaughterhouses. The battle against raw milk goes back decades.

There is a necessary concern to prevent food-borne pathogens but it shouldn’t require the elimination of small producers and specialty raw foods. Small producers are usually vastly more hygienic than industrial scale agribusiness.

They were local, which is typical--not feds.
