Applegate Organic Chicken Strips (Frozen)

From the Publisher: Our Meat Standards Aren't Standard

At Whole Foods Market, our commitment to high-quality meat standards and close relationships with farmers and ranchers ensure that we have comprehensive knowledge of how the animals were raised. All beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and turkey (except kosher turkey) sold in our Meat department is Animal Welfare Certified, allowing our customers to feel confident in the products they are buying and consuming.

What Makes Our Meat Department Different

Farm-to-store traceability: We employ a traceable audit system that follows the animals every step of their journey, from their birth on the farm or ranch to their arrival in our stores.

No antibiotics, ever: If an animal must receive antibiotic treatment for any reason, the resulting meat cannot be sold in our Meat department.

No added growth hormones: We prohibit the use of added hormones in our Meat department, regardless of whether they are administered through feed, injections, or any other method.

No animal by-products in feed: This includes a strict ban on the use of feather meal or rendered fat in the feed provided to the animals.

These rigorous standards and practices set our Meat department apart, ensuring that our customers can trust the quality and integrity of the products they purchase from us. By maintaining close relationships with our suppliers and implementing comprehensive traceability measures, we are able to provide our customers with transparency and peace of mind when it comes to the source and treatment of the animals that become the meat they consume.

At Whole Foods Market, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of animal welfare and sustainable farming practices. Our dedication to these principles is reflected in the exceptional quality and ethical sourcing of the meat products available in our Meat department. Customers can shop with confidence, knowing that the meat they choose aligns with their values and supports a more responsible, sustainable food system.
