Why can you trust the G.A.P. Animal Welfare Certified label? Because we require every farm - not just a sample of farms - to be third-party audited every 15 months. Other animal welfare certifications only require a small percentage of farms to be audited, but still certify all of the farms. This level of diligence matters to us. And we think it matters to you, too.
