We Care – 6 Ethical Principles for the Pork Industry

Public Health

We affirm our obligation to ensure our practices protect public health.

The U.S. food supply system has earned a global reputation for its safety, and pig farmers have contributed to that standard. As farmers, we rigorously test technologies and apply checks and balances to maintain both quality and safety at every stop of the pork supply chain. We use practices consistent with producing safe food, carefully manage the use of animal health products, and carefully manage manure and air quality.
