Antibiotic-Free Food Labels to Look For
—Gretel H. Schueller, Contributing Writer
Antibiotic-Free Label to Look For: Certified Humane Raised and Handled®:
Eggs, meat, poultry, dairy
This certification (not to be confused with American Humane Certified) is endorsed by several animal-welfare and food-safety organizations, including the ASPCA. Animals are raised on a diet without antibiotics. Antibiotics are allowed to treat sick animals, but only under veterinary supervision.

Chicken Buyer’s Guide
Certified Humane Raised & Handled®: Overseen by a nonprofit and endorsed by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Humane Society of the United States, this label ensures your chicken received basic standards of care. For instance, CHRH producers must provide at least six continuous hours of darkness per 24-hour period (many birds live in round-the-clock light to hasten growth). Feed must be fresh. Original guidelines required producers to provide about 1 square foot of space per chicken; however, this is currently under review. This third-party certification does not have any rules about access to pasture.

Pork Buyer’s Guide
Certified Humane Raised & Handled®: Overseen by a nonprofit endorsed by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Humane Society of the United States, this label ensures your pig received basic standards of care. CHRH pigs must have access to straw or other material to root around in, as well as objects for manipulation, such as chains or balls.
