The Certified Humane Raised and Handled® label was awarded by the nonprofit Humane Farm Animal Care to PM Beef Holdings, LLC, a premium specialty beef producer based in Windom, Minn.
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 65 companies, representing hundreds of farms, have been certified.
PM Beef’s cattle are raised by family farmers throughout the Midwest according to PM Beef’s standards for each of its product lines, which includes “Natures Pride All Natural Program”, “Preferred Stock Angus Beef,” and “PM Quality Angus Beef.”
“Our goal is to be the best in the industry, so we have to have the highest standards,” said Lisa Hernandez, director of quality assurance for PM Beef Holdings, LLC. “We’re committed to raising our cattle in a humane way, so we’re happy to have third-party validation through the Certified Humane program.”
PM Beef supplies customers throughout the world with boxed and case-ready beef. In the U.S., its customers include Heinen’s, Knowlan’s, Food Lion, Hy-Vee, Ukrop’s, Heartland Farms and Tesco’s Fresh & Easy stores. More information can be found at www.pmbeef.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.
