“What does Certified Humane® mean? This seal will protect you from being duped in some of the most confusing areas of the supermarket- the meat and dairy aisles. For instance, did you know that “free range” on eggs means nothing, while on poultry it has a specific definition? I’m so grateful that animal welfare is a growing concern of the consumer, and this is the most meaningful seal in the category. It ensures that animals are raised in a humane manner, with specific access to those great farm conditions we want to imagine, and are raised without hormones or antibiotics.”

“For something to be considered “Certified Humane®,” it must be shown that the animals lived essentially as they would on any regular farm, without any alteration to their natural life cycle. They must be given open space in which to wander and graze, no claustrophobic confinement in tiny cages or crates, and shelter from the elements. They are not treated with any artificial growth hormones or antibiotics, and must be butchered as quickly and painlessly as possible to limit stress. In the case of eggs, certified humane products are harvested from freenesting hens. Certified Humane ® is the gold standard of product labeling if you’re looking for wholesome, naturally produced food.”

“The only truly foolproof way to ensure that the meat on your dinner plate came from an animal that was treated humanely is to visit the farm on which it was raised. Since this isn’t realistic for many of us with busy urban lives, the next best thing is to look for humane treatment certification labels. The best example of this is the Certified Humane® label by the Humane Farm Animal Care organization, which certifies that rigorous standards were used in caring for the animals. These standards include allowing the animals to express natural behaviors, like chickens dust bathing, pigs rooting, and cows grazing. A next-best certification to look for is the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Organic label. While organic standards don’t specify humane treatment of the animal, new guidelines implemented require that farm animals have access to pasture, which addresses at least part of the concern.”
