CLASSIC ITALIAN SMOKED PORK SAUSAGE

From the Manufacturer: Our Meat Standards Aren't Standard

At Whole Foods Market, our commitment to quality meat extends far beyond industry norms. We take pride in our stringent Meat standards and the close relationships we've forged with trusted farmers and ranchers, ensuring we know exactly how the animals were raised. All beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and turkey (except kosher turkey) sold in our Meat department are Animal Welfare Certified, giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing the animals were treated humanely.

What Makes Our Meat Department Different?

Farm-to-Store Traceability: We employ a rigorous traceability system that tracks the journey of each animal, from their birth on the farm or ranch to their arrival in our stores. This level of transparency allows us to provide you with comprehensive information about the source of your meat.

No Antibiotics, Ever: If an animal ever requires antibiotic treatment, the resulting meat is not permitted to be sold in our Meat department. We maintain a strict no-antibiotics policy, ensuring you never have to worry about consuming meat that has been treated with these substances.

No Added Growth Hormones: We do not allow the use of added growth hormones in our Meat department, whether through feed, injections, or any other method. Our commitment to providing natural, hormone-free meat is unwavering.

No Animal By-Products in Feed: We go a step further by ensuring that the feed given to the animals in our supply chain does not contain any animal by-products, such as feather meal or rendered fat. This policy aligns with our dedication to responsible and ethical farming practices.

By meeting the highest standards for animal welfare, feed quality, and more, we can confidently say that you can trust the meat you're buying (and eating) at Whole Foods Market. No added growth hormones, no antibiotics, and no animal by-products in feed – our Meat department sets the bar for quality and transparency.
