Reputable Reviews

Many consumer organizations, members of the media, humane organizations, businesses and people like you have confirmed that the Certified Humane^® program is the best choice for meat, poultry egg and dairy products from animals raised humanely.

The following quotes are just a small sample of the enthusiastic reaction that the program has garnered. Please visit our News section to read more.

“What’s Truly Cruelty-Free: Look for These Labels and Skip the Rest… [Certified Humane^®] standards for animal welfare are more extensive than those required for organics”

“In theory, a humanely raised animal has been allowed to engage in natural behaviors, has had sufficient space, shelter and gentle handling to limit stress, and eats a healthful diet without added antibiotics or hormones. But unless a third-party (such as Humane Farm Animal Care; certifiedhumane.org) has certified such treatment, you have to trust the producer”.

“The [Los Angeles] Board of Animal Services Commissioners, at the recommendation of the Department, voted unanimously to endorse the work of the Humane Farm Animal Care organization in their on-going consumer certification program for food products.”

“A label You can Really Trust”

“Concerned about treatment of farm animals? Then look for the new Certified Humane label in restaurants and supermarkets.”
