Hormone-free Claims: Since all plants and animals produce hormones, a ‘‘hormone-free’’ plant or meat product is a misnomer and a ‘‘hormone-free’’ marketing claim cannot be made. However, a no supplemental hormone claim may be made if specific documentation is acquired.
THIRVE Chicken, Turkey, Ham, and Sausage
Supplemental Hormones: FDA does not allow supplemental hormones to be used in pork or poultry products. Because of this we cannot make claims that our pork and poultry is hormone free, because ALL pork and poultry in the U.S. is hormone free.
Antibiotics: Based on the statements issued by our suppliers, the chicken, turkey, ham, and sausage products are produced from animals that are free of antibiotics used for growth promoting purposes. Please keep in mind that specific antibiotics are allowed by the USDA and may be used in these products. However, at least 30 days prior to harvest, no antibiotics are used. THRIVE Beef and Ground Beef products are the same as those listed above.
