The Certified Humane Raised and Handled® label was awarded by the nonprofit Humane Farm Animal Care to Eggology, a leading U.S. producer of organic and cage-free egg-white products in Canoga Park, Calif.
The Certified Humane Raised and Handled label assures consumers that a meat, poultry, egg or dairy product has been produced according to Humane Farm Animal Care’s (HFAC) precise standards for humane farm animal treatment. Animals must receive a nutritious diet without antibiotics or hormones and must be raised with shelter, resting areas and space sufficient to support natural behavior. Since HFAC’s program was unveiled in May 2003, more than 60 companies have been certified.
Eggology sells its egg products to more than 4,000 grocery and specialty foods stores and food service outlets nationwide. Its laying hens are all raised in cage-free environments. Eggology products that are Certified Humane include cage-free egg whites, organic egg whites, cage-free whole eggs, cage-free sugared yolks, organic sugared yolks, salted cage-free yolks, organic yolks, cage-free hardboiled eggs and organic hardboiled eggs.
For more information, visit Eggology’s website at www.eggology.com.
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.
HFAC is a national nonprofit organization supported by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), regional and local animal protection organizations, foundations and individuals.
