American Humane Certified

The American Humane Certified program is the nation's first independent, third-party certification program to verify the humane treatment of farm animals.[1] The program was launched in 2000.[2]

The purpose of the American Humane Certified program is to give consumers access to humanely-raised food choices.[3] Farms that meet the American Humane Association's criteria may add the American Humane Certified logo to their packaging.[4]
