At supermarkets everywhere, consumers are looking to packaging labels to learn more about the food they’re buying. This is especially true of animal proteins, where food buyers want to know that the animal was treated well and raised responsibly, and that the food products they serve are safe to eat. Farmers and producers work hard to do the right thing, continuously improving their operation for these animals and the food they produce. Proper care and welfare for animals leads to safe and healthy food, and responsible, adaptive operations contribute to a safe and healthy environment. The health of humans, animals, and the environment is indivisible.
So, how do animal-based-protein producers demonstrate their commitment to responsible animal care that betters human, animal, and environmental health?
