The country’s first-ever Certified Humane restaurant chain will open in Orlando in the Phillips Crossing Shopping Center on Sand Lake Road in October 2010. Lime Fresh Mexican Grill, a South Florida based Tex-Mex chain frequented by celeb foodies such as Padma Lakshmi and Matt Damon, recently announced that it is the first-ever chain to serve only 100 percent Certified Humane meats. A grand opening event with free food and drinks, which will be open to the public and benefit a local charity, is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 21, 2010.
Lime Fresh Mexican Grill, has been Certified Humane by Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC). The national nonprofit organization was created to improve the lives of farm animals by certifying their humane treatment. Lime is the first and only restaurant chain and only fast casual concept in the United States to earn this certification for having 100 percent of the meat served as Certified Humane. Having the Certified Humane label signifies Lime meets the Humane Farm Animal Care’s standards which require that the animals from birth to slaughter be fed a nutritious diet without antibiotics or hormones, and are raised with shelter, resting areas, sufficient space and the ability to engage in natural behaviors. The extensive and ongoing certification process, which will be repeated annually at each Lime location, includes the auditing and inspection of all procedures, facilities, receipts and sales records.
Lime has six South Florida locations, with three more to open by the end of 2010, including the Orlando venture.
