Animal Care
We require our suppliers to adopt humane animal care and treatment and provide the educational resources to support those practices. Hood supports and promotes industry efforts to implement animal wellbeing best practices through Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) Animal Care, a standard certified to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) specifications. Hood also goes beyond industry standards and requests suppliers increase audit frequency and perform proactive audits to further monitor and ensure robust animal care practices and compliance.
