*Michael Foods guidelines regarding the use of hormones and antibiotics.
The safety of the eggs and egg products we provide to our customers, as well as the health and well-being of our hens, are top priorities for Michael Foods. Our company-owned farms and flocks as well as those of our long-term contract suppliers are cared for under all regulatory requirements, as well the guidelines below:
All flocks are raised without the use of any added hormones.
Antibiotics are used only for disease prevention and treatment and only with the advice and recommendation of a veterinarian. Our hens are not given antibiotics in a low-level, continuous feeding program for growth promotion or production enhancement in otherwise healthy hens.
When our hens receive antibiotics, we follow all applicable FDA requirements for safe levels of dosage and efficacy, which ensures antibiotics will not pass through to the egg. No antibiotics are used unless they are approved by the FDA and are used at the established levels.
