Government Labels
The government has devised labels to let you know what you're buying/eating/feeding the spawn.
However you have to understand what it means and what it doesn't mean, assuming the farmer put the right stickers on them. It's easy to jump to conclusions, shortcuts to what you want to believe. For instance my Cheerios box boasts whole grain is the first ingredient on all Cheerios cereals. 51% Whole Grain, 49% recycled cardboard, that meets the requirements. So does 32% Whole Grain, 29% Mercury, 29% Chlorine, but you don't want to eat it. I'm not picking on Cheerios, I like 'em. Caveat Emptor, always.

There's a big difference between "edible" and "won't kill you." They are absolutely not digestible (and cause huge headaches for compositing facilities, too.) If you eat a sticker, you will poop a sticker.

Are those stickers paper, plastic, a composite, something else?

They're plastic, a special kind called "microthin."

I appreciate that more and more of them are missing glue at one end.

I'll trust anything from the FDA before I trust anything that bypassed it.
