HERNDON, Va. — Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC) has announced new standards for products that are labeled Certified Humane® and either "Free Range" or "Pasture Raised."
HFAC said there is currently no legal definition for "Free Range" or "Pasture Raised" in the United States, therefore these terms are often used on poultry packaging with no unilateral definitions for the consumer to trust. HFAC's 28-member Scientific Committee has spent nearly two years reviewing all of the current research, which has resulted in new standards for the Certified Human® label.
