Some in this group declared a financial interest in trusts but were not required to disclose any property held in those trusts.

It looks like you can apply even if you don’t know you’re affected and they (KPMG) will determine eligibility, but that’s a lot of personal information for a “maybe”

“Free Range” is regulated, but the threshold is unusually low compared to other countries.
Pastured or pasture raised is a much stronger standard but as far as i can tell not legally protected.
