Program accomplishments

  • In 2025, over 500 companies represented more than 38,000 farms were Certified Humane. Producers or products can be found in the U.S., Argentina, Australia, Bahamas, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic,Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Laos, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Turkey, Uruguay & Vietnam. We can all be advocates for farm animals by purchasing Certified Humane products and by utilizing the tools provided on our website and through our new app. To become certified by HFAC, farmers must meet HFAC Animal Care Standards and pass annual inspections. HFACs Animal Care Standards were developed and subject to regular review by a veritable Whos Who of national and international animal scientists and farm-animal welfare experts.

Medicina Veterinria Preventiva e Sade Animal / FMVZ Universidade de So Paulo, Pirassununga/SP, Brazil The credibility of our program rests with farmers and ranchers meeting the high welfare standards we set by passing annual inspections. The program also must inspect processing plants to make sure that the slaughter of the animals is humane and the handling of the animals before slaughter is gentle. In addition, traceability audits are performed on all products, ensuring that every package, carton, or case that has the Certified Humane logo on it can be traced back to the farm, barn, flock, or herd that was inspected and certified. HFAC continues to be the only animal welfare certification organization to conduct traceability audits. This requires three different types of inspectors. The first are those that have species-specific knowledge and do the on-farm inspections. They are usually University Professors with a masters degree or PhD in Animal Science or a DVM/VMD and have a great deal of expertise on the species they are inspecting. Additionally, slaughter/processor inspections require a different expertise. For example, only poultry scientists or poultry veterinarians would be considered to inspect poultry on the farm. Even with cows, scientists or veterinarians with experience in dairy cows have different expertise than those with beef cattle experience. These inspectors are specially trained to understand what to look for during the slaughter process and how to to recognize insensibility and careful handling techniques. Finally, the traceability auditors understand how to look for separation and segregation of products, how to do in/out audits to make sure the amount of product that comes in is the same amount that goes out, and that non-certified product does not end up in packages with the Certified Humane seal. With every producer who agrees to abide by Humane Farm Animal Cares, Animal Care Standards, thousands more animals benefit, and many more farmers have a chance to see that they, too, can change the way they raise animals without fearing for their bottom line. Funding received has helped HFAC bring many small farms, whose inspection fees are waived, into our program. Our program manual describes the number of animals that qualify a farm for the small farm exemption. If a farm meets those criteria, HFAC waives these fees to ensure that every producer that is willing to make and sustain the changes necessary to become Certified Humane can do so - no matter how small. All farms and processing plants are inspected annually to verify that they are meeting all the requirements as described in our Animal Care Standards. (The standards are available for download by consumers and producers alike from our website at www.certifiedhumane.org). HFAC has created an infrastructure and processes that meet the highest international standards for a certification body. The achievements of the Certified Humane program are the result of a committed staff, volunteers, supporters, as generous contributions from the public and foundations, and loyal consumer who request and shop for Certified Humane products. an infrastructure and processes that meet the highest international standards for a certification body.
