No meat products are truly "hormone free". Hormones are naturally occurring regulatory substances within an animal. However, we do not add any synthetic hormones into our feed to promote growth. Nor do we implant our animals with any hormones. Case Custom Meats goes above and beyond to make sure our animals stay healthy. We do not add any antibiotics to our feed. If an animal gets sick we work closely with our Veterinarian to take appropriate action. Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) guidelines are followed for placement of injection, accurate records are taken and a strict antibiotic withdrawal timeline is followed. 99% of our animals never receive an antibiotic injection.
All of our products are flash frozen and vacuum sealed.
