Certified Humane

The Certified Humane Standard

A third-party label indicating that farm animals, including egg-laying hens, were raised under strict welfare standards without cages, overcrowding, or routine antibiotics.

‘Certified Humane’ is a rigorous, third-party certification program that sets specific, enforceable standards for the treatment of farm animals. It dictates requirements for space, housing, and handling.

When you see this label on egg cartons, it guarantees the hens were not kept in cages and were raised in an environment that respects their natural behaviors. It is one of the most trusted labels for ethically conscious shoppers.
