New food label to certify animal-welfare practices in U.S.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Wisconsin egg farmer John Brunnquell says he treats his hens

more humanely than most other producers. He doesn't put them in cages or

withhold food and water to get them to lay more eggs.

 

Now he has a way to prove to grocery shoppers that he's good to his birds.

 

The government is allowing farmers to display a new seal on meat and dairy

products to attest that they meet new voluntary standards for the treatment of

cattle and chickens.
