According the the actual requirements for labeling free range means that they need to have the door open (but they don't need to go out of it) for a prescribed proportion of the day. I think it is actually half an hour. Free range is one of the biggest BS terms when used by the industry. I am so disenheartened sometimes by the FDA, it seems like they go out of their way to mislead.
