A Canadian restaurant chain claims to be the first in North America to serve 100 percent Certified Humane beef. Vancouver Canada-based Earls Restaurants says Certified Humane beef is raised without the use of antibiotics or steroids and contains no added hormones. Effective last week, all 66 Earl’s restaurants across North America now serve the 100-percent Certified Humane beef, according to Meatingplace. The new focus on Certified Humane products forced the company to change procurement practices. The company is requiring that all of its beef must come from not only Certified Humane ranches but also from Certified Humane slaughterhouses. The move also means that Earl’s will source from the United States as Canadian suppliers cannot keep up the with company’s demand for Certified Humane beef products.
