Behind the Label takes listeners from the grocery store aisle to the farm – explaining what it means for broiler chickens at Springer Mountain Farms, and all animals, to be raised humanely. Dr. Robin Ganzert, president and CEO of American Humane, the country's first national welfare organization, chats with Lisa Held, a seasoned agriculture reporter, about humane standards on the farm. Together, they bring together scientists and welfare experts to answer questions on the science behind welfare standards, the farm auditing process, and how humane food arrives at a grocery store near you.
Started in 1877, American Humane blazed a trail for animal welfare. Today, the organization is doing more than ever before. In this first episode of Behind the Label with American Humane, president and CEO Robin Ganzert shares intriguing details from the organization's history. From American Humane's work on a law that regulated the transport of animals, to saving and caring for animals during wars and natural disasters and keeping them safe on Hollywood film sets. And finally, to certifying nearly one billion farm animals each and every year, including Springer Mountain Farms' chickens. In the next few episodes, we'll dig deeper into American Humane's farm certification process, its standards for chickens, and how Springer Mountain Farms applies those standards.
