CONSUMER REPORTS: “According to our 2016 consumer survey, a majority of consumers believe the ‘humanely raised’ claim should mean that the animals had adequate living space (86%), the animals were slaughtered humanely (80%), the animals were raised in houses with clean air (78%), the animals went outdoors (78%), or the animals were raised without cages (66%). However, when we asked the USDA whether companies have to meet any of these standards to make a ‘humanely raised’ claim on its meat and poultry products, a USDA spokesperson responded that the USDA ‘has not defined these claims in regulations or policy guidelines.’”
