Our Meat Standards Aren't Standard

At Whole Foods Market, our commitment to high meat standards, combined with our strong relationships with farmers and ranchers, allows us to have firsthand knowledge of how animals are raised. Every piece of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and turkey (excluding kosher turkey) in our Meat department is certified under Animal Welfare standards. This guarantees that you can shop with confidence, knowing you are making responsible choices about what you buy and eat.

What Sets Our Meat Department Apart

Farm-to-Store Traceability
We implement a rigorous traceable audit system that provides complete visibility regarding the journey of animals. From the moment they are born on the farm or ranch until their arrival in our stores, we ensure full transparency at every stage.

No Antibiotics, Ever
Our Meat department maintains a strict policy: any animal that requires antibiotic treatment is not permitted for sale. This commitment ensures that all available meat meets our high-quality standards.

No Added Growth Hormones
In our Meat department, we prohibit the use of added growth hormones. This includes all possible methods, whether through feed or injections, ensuring our customers receive products free from harmful additives.

No Animal By-Products in Feed
We are dedicated to providing meat from animals that are not fed any by-products, including feather meal or rendered fat. This reinforces our commitment to animal welfare and the quality of the meat we offer.

With these standards in place, you can trust that you’re making informed choices about your food, confirming that it meets exceptional welfare, feed, and nutritional standards before it reaches your table.

Summary of Our Quality Commitment

• Farm-to-store traceability ensures complete transparency in the sourcing of our meat.
• Zero use of antibiotics means that every product you purchase is free from harmful residues.
• No added growth hormones guarantees that you're consuming meat without unnecessary additives.
• Animal by-products are entirely excluded from animal feed, aligning with our ethical practices.

You can be assured that our dedication to maintaining these standards allows you to enjoy delicious, responsibly sourced meat, all while supporting ethical farming practices. At Whole Foods Market, we believe that knowing where your food comes from is just as important as enjoying the quality of what you eat.
