Sierra Club News : Buy “Certified Humane”

Stores in the Washington, D.C., area are being encouraged to stock products bearing the new “Certified Humane” label. The label appears on meat, eggs and dairy products as a sign of the farmer’s adherence to strict animal welfare standards. If your local grocers aren’t yet carrying Certified Humane products, The Humane Society of the United States urges you to ask them to ensure that their suppliers meet the animal welfare standards.
