Poultry From The Heart
ABOUT
Where Food Comes From’s IMI Global division has been working in the poultry industry for more than a decade, offering acclaimed third-party verification services, process verified programs, and development services. When our customers asked us to use our experience and expertise to develop a sustainability standard specific to the poultry industry, we created the CARE standard specifically for the poultry industry..
Like the other CARE Certified Standards, CARE promotes on-going improvements in three core sectors on poultry farms—Animal Care, Environmental Stewardship, and People and Community.
