Question
Why does your label state "no added hormones" instead of "hormone-free"?
Answer
All living creatures have hormones in their bodies naturally, including chickens. These hormones regulate many of a chicken's functions similar to the way they do in a human. Because there are naturally occurring hormones in chicken, we cannot state on our label that our chicken is hormone-free.
Our company does not use growth hormones of any kind with our chickens. In fact, federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in raising chickens.
