Certified Humane

Certified Humane

An international nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of farm animals through the "Certified Humane®" labeling program.

Certified Humane is a global non-profit that improves the lives of farm animals in the food supply chain. We do this one farm at a time with a certification process that informs consumers that compassionate, veterinarian-advised standards for animal welfare are being met. When consumers purchase food products bearing the Certified Humane label, they reinforce the humane treatment of farm animals.

Farmer Focus, was featured in Meatingplace magazine!
"a farm ID number and QR code that allows consumers
to trace the product all the way back to the farm, and
to learn about the family that raised the birds and in what manner. They can essentially verify the claims — USDA Organic, Free Range, Non-GMO-Verified Certified Humane — they’re
reading on the label at point of purchase."

We are honored to be featured in this month's publication of Meatingplace Magazine! 🐔 ✅

The article highlights our passion for "generational farmer prosperity and consumer trust, not only by way of traceability back to the broiler house, but also by making claims-based products more affordable."

We're grateful for this opportunity to amplify our mission to promote & protect generational family farming and look forward to what the future holds! 💙
