New York CNN —Navigating the grocery aisle is overwhelming, especially when trying to make sense of food labels. Shoppers who want to know where their food comes from, or how long it will last, have to work even harder. Government agencies have strict guidelines for food safety and nutrition labels on packaged foods. But other information like sell-by dates or animal welfare labels are less regulated — and some are effectively meaningless. Here’s how to know what you’re looking at when you’re reading food labels.

Budweiser's famous horses will have longer tails now that the company has stopped clipping them. Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of the beer brand, said in a press release on Wednesday that it no longer clips its Clydesdales' tails, a procedure known as docking. Budweiser Clydesdales handler John Fink walks the horses prior to bathing them at Houston Polo Club. In its campaign, PETA noted that horses use their tails to communicate and swat away flies, which can carry diseases. The Clydesdale breed of horses originated in Scotland and are synonymous with the Budweiser brand .

Anheuser-Busch InBev said it will no longer cut the tails of the iconic Clydesdale horses used in its signature Budweiser commercials and at events, following extended backlash from animal rights groups. However, the practice known as "docking," which can involve cutting through a horse's tailbone, has come under scrutiny. Anheuser-Busch on Wednesday said it has stopped cutting off tails. PETA said it found some representatives for Anheuser-Busch have said they trimmed the hairs on the tails rather than cut them off. In a statement to CNBC, PETA said it's celebrating the beer maker's decision to stop cutting horse tails by "cracking open some cold ones."

The American Human Association monitors roughly 70% of animal action in Hollywood productions. Since they've trademarked the "No Animals Were Harmed" disclaimer, only they can issue and define it. And despite past accounts of cover-ups, AHA guidelines aim to provide productions and animal trainers with a better understanding of animal safety limitations. Video footage released in 2016 showed Michael Hackenberger, Hollywood animal trainer and owner of the Bowmanville Zoo, whipping a tiger named Uno multiple times. Even so, many people believe the only movies that can truly state "No Animals Were Harmed" are movies that replace animal actors with computer-generated imagery.
