Heinen's Beef and Pork FAQ

Our Philosophy

At Heinen’s, our philosophy for raising beef and pork is very straightforward. We work with trusted partners to raise beef and pork to the highest quality standards with respect for the animals and the environment.

To ensure transparency, Heinen’s trusted beef and pork partners undergo third party auditing with Where Food Comes From*, which requires explicit documentation of their policies and processes. This results in CARE Certification and guarantees consistency in how they raise and harvest animals. In partnering with Where Food Comes From, we’re helping provide our trusted beef and pork partners with resources to develop realistic, sustainable, and long lasting practices that serve the animals, the environment, and our customers.
