Farmland receives 'Never Ever 3' designation

Farmland Foods recently received the United States Department of Agriculture designation “Never Ever 3” for its Simply Natural line of fresh pork products.
The USDA NE3 standard ensures:
*No antibiotics in feed, water or by injection from birth to slaughter
*No natural or synthetic hormones, estrus suppressants, beta agonists or synthetic growth promotants can be administered
*No mammalian and avian by-products are ever allowed in the feed
The standard uses the International Organization for Standardization's ISO 9000 series standards for documented quality management systems as a format for evaluating program documentation to ensure consistent auditing practices and to promote international recognition of audit results.
Farmland’s Simply Natural line offers cuts including including back ribs, boneless tenderloins, boneless sirloins, bone-in and boneless loins and butts. According to Farmland, it is the first U.S. pork company to receive the designation.
