The “Certified Humane Raised and


Handled” label assures consumers that a
meat, poultry, egg or dairy product has
been produced according to HFAC’s pre-
cise standards for humane farm animal
treatment. Animals must receive a nutri-
tious diet without antibiotics or hormones
and must be raised with shelter, resting
areas and space sufficient to support nat-
ural behavior. Sixteen companies are now
certified to use the label.
“This is the essence of our business,”
COO Dean Koplik says. “We specialize in
traditional, ready-to-cook chicken prod-

appeal our products have on consumers
is the taste. We process a special, propri-

feed and raise them well to produce a
superior taste.”
