On November 17th, the US Patent and Trademark Office granted Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC) the use of the Certification Mark, Certified Humane®. “Since “Certified Humane” has been closely associated with HFAC for many years, this formalizes that connection,” said Adele Douglass, executive director.
With millions of products sold annually, consumers can see the Certified Humane® logo on a wide variety of meat, poultry, dairy and egg products in their supermarkets nationally.
“Now people know when they see the words Certified Humane® they will be assured that it is our program” said Douglass. “We’ve had a productive year and look forward to many more.”
Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of farm animals by certifying their humane treatment. Endorsed by more than 35 humane organizations, the Certified Humane Raised and Handled® program is nationally recognized as the Gold Standard for certifying animal welfare from birth through slaughter. Since the program was unveiled in May 2003, more than 65 companies, representing hundreds of farms and millions of farm animals, have been certified.
HFAC’s Animal Care Standards were developed by a veritable “Who’s Who” of national and international animal scientists and farm-animal welfare experts. Producer compliance with the HFAC standards is verified through annual on-site visits by HFAC’s third-party inspectors.
