When you choose hormone-free poultry from a chicken restaurant, you can expect healthier, tastier dishes with plenty of perks. Let’s learn more about what ‘hormone-free’ really means and why it’s better for you.
Hormone-free is exactly as it sounds - it means the chicken has no added hormones. This label can be used on all conventionally raised chickens in the U.S. since the use of hormones is not allowed. That’s right - all pork and poultry is essentially free of added or artificial hormones. These animals come from programs monitored by the USDA.
It’s important to note that because poultry comes from animals, it naturally has hormones in it. Hormones help animals grow, reproduce and maintain bodily functions, so all meat, eggs and milk contain naturally-occurring hormones. You can’t get away from them entirely.
However, your chicken should NOT contain any additional hormones, as the FDA and USDA banned all hormones and steroids in poultry back in the 1950s. If you want to purchase the absolute best chicken for your family, we recommend going organic because it ensures the chickens were raised humanely, fed a vegetarian diet and given access to the outdoors.
Chicken is a great source of protein, niacin, selenium and phosphorus. It’s part of a healthy diet, and can be eaten on most weight management plans. Choosing high-quality chicken ensures you get tastier pieces of meat as well as more essential nutrients. Here are some perks to eating hormone-free chicken at home or at a chicken restaurant:
You can find hormone-free chicken pretty much anywhere. Remember, the FDA and USDA banned added hormones and steroids back in the 1950s, so all poultry has no added hormones. However, red meat is not regulated in the same way, so you’ll need to pay even closer attention to its labels.
