The answer

Organic meats are the product of livestock and poultry raised naturally without chemical additives or hormones, while non-organic meats may pose harms due to their breeding and feeding methods. However, the default rule for things is permissibility unless their harm is certain. If benefits and harms converge, the greater benefit is prioritized. The benefit of non-organic meats is certain, while their harm is doubtful. There is no شرعي (Shar'i) preference for either type; both are permissible. There is no blame on whoever chooses a specific type for themselves to preserve their health, as long as it does not reach the point of obsessive doubt or prohibiting what Allah has made lawful. A Muslim may choose whatever permissible foods they wish for themselves and let others choose for themselves, and should not prohibit anything for people without clear شرعي (Shar'i) evidence.
