Did you know? In Canada, no chickens are ever given hormones, regardless of the type of farm they live on. In fact, ALL eggs sold in Canada are antibiotic and hormone-free. Antibiotics help prevent pain and suffering in animals when they have infections. Canada has strict regulations to ensure that antibiotics have cleared an animal’s system before any product from the animal is sold as food. When laying hens are given antibiotics, their eggs are thrown away until antibiotics can no longer be detected.
