We care about how they’re raised
100+ animal welfare standards — Global Animal Partnership certified
All fresh beef in our Meat department is Animal Welfare Certified by the nonprofit Global Animal Partnership using a tiered 5+ Step system with detailed requirements for how animals are handled, housed, fed and more. Different animals have different, specific welfare needs – for cattle, that starts with no crowding. Each step builds on the previous, addressing things like feedlots and time spent on pasture.
Our Meat Standards Aren't Standard
At Whole Foods Market, our Meat department standards and strong relationships with farmers and ranchers mean we know where and how animals were raised. Plus, all beef, pork, chicken, lamb and turkey (except kosher turkey) in our Meat department is Animal Welfare Certified, so you can feel good about what you’re buying (and eating).
What Makes Our Meat Department Different
Farm-to-store traceability
We use a traceable audit system that tracks animals on every step of the journey — from their birth on the farm or ranch to our stores.
No antibiotics, ever
If an animal must receive antibiotic treatment, the meat cannot be sold in our Meat department.
No added growth hormones
We don’t allow the use of added hormones in our Meat department, whether that’s through feed, injections or any other method.
