Global public health organization NSF International has developed an independent certification protocol — Raised Without Antibiotics — to certify animal products have been raised without exposure to antibiotics. The new certification will help consumers identify products that do not contribute to the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
NSF International's Raised Without Antibiotics certification can be granted to many animal products, including meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, eggs, leather and certain supplement ingredients. The certification provides independent verification of on-package claims and is the only "raised without antibiotics" certification that covers all animal products.
