Yes. Prairie Grove sources animals from farms certified by the independent third-party organization, American Humane Certified.

Never, Ever means that our farmers “never”, “ever” use antibiotics or growth promotants to raise their pigs for Prairie Grove. It takes great animal husbandry to provide an environment where no antibiotics are needed. We’re proud of our humane protocols and high animal welfare standards.

Some pork companies use antibiotics for part of a pig’s life cycle. Some use antibiotics for the maximum time allowed by adding it to the food and water a pig consumes. Most use artificial growth stimulants the last 30 days or so prior to harvesting.

This brings with it a variety of product label claims such as “antibiotic residue free”. And, while the label may still say “Natural” on it, these animals were still administered antibiotics during their lifecycle. The same would hold true with artificial growth stimulants—unless the label states “NO” or “NEVER ANY” artificial growth stimulants used, you can bet the animals were administered artificial growth stimulants.

It can be confusing, so just ask for Prairie Grove Farms by name and be confident knowing we NEVER use antibiotics or artificial growth stimulants, EVER.
