Benefits to Retailers
Certified Humane® certification offers the complete package to the retailer:
Humane Animal Care Standards written by a Scientific Committee of animal scientists and veterinarians;
Standards for laying hens, chickens, turkeys (including poultry slaughter), pigs, beef cattle, dairy cows, sheep, goats and young dairy beef
On farm audits;
Slaughter audits; and
Traceability audits (we track Certified Humane® products from the farm to your shelf.)
Transparency – All relevant information about Certified Humane® is available on the website, including:
Ease of separation and segregation with Certified Humane®: one certification, one label. In contrast, humane programs with multiple steps would require multiple areas of separation and segregation to be designed at the retailer level to accommodate the different products for each step.
Certified Humane® promotes the retailers who have Certified Humane® product in their stores. Due to demand from consumers who want to know where they can buy products that are Certified Humane®, we created a searchable map where consumers can find your certified products.
Benefits to your suppliers
Certified Humane® has the lowest cost to your suppliers in comparison to the cost of other certification organizations. We can keep the cost of inspections low because our inspection staff consists of highly qualified, individual independent contractors, not high cost audit firms. You are assured that the supplier is receiving the highest quality audit, farm, slaughter, and traceability at a cost they can afford.
