During recent calls with a dozen animal health pros, I asked about hormones and chickens referring to marketing on packaging in supermarkets. Only four of the 12 knew a definite answer. Let’s get this right once and for all!
Fact: federal regulations prohibit the use of added hormones and steroids in all poultry. The chicken that is labeled “Raised without hormones” must also include a statement saying that no hormones are used in the production of any poultry raised in the United States.
. . . all chicken you buy is free of added or artificial hormones and steroids.”
