Roast Pork Loin with Thyme and Citrus JamWhile Thanksgiving is all about the sides, the main course takes center stage during this month’s celebrations. That’s why we’re all about meat that’s full of flavor, not antibiotics or added hormones. All meat in our meat department must meet these requirements:
No antibiotics, ever
No animal byproducts in feed
No added hormones (Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in raising pork, poultry, goat, veal and bison. We don’t allow them in beef or lamb, either.)
Plus, the 5-Step® Animal Welfare Rating opens in a new tab is your way of knowing how the animals were raised for the meat you are buying. Beef, pork, chicken and turkey in our fresh meat case are currently rated.
