Animal Compassionate Standards

Still haven't heard back from Publix, although I talked to another Meat Clerk that reports all their GreenWise Meats are humanely treated. I still want to see it in writing.

What I have found meanwhile is a Whole Foods document giving details of both Whole Foods Market Natural Meat Program Standards and Whole Foods Market Animal Compassionate Standards for Broiler Chickens. Check out this link.

Whole Foods' website also states all shell eggs sold and those used in their kitchen and bakeries are cage free. The hens are allowed to move freely within a chicken house or outdoors where they get exercise and scratch about. Whole Foods dairy products come from the milk of animal with access to organic pasture in combination with organically grown feed. And they follow the National Organic Standards. All their chicken in the meat department is free-range.

I wish we had a Whole Foods here in Lakeland. Oh, well.
