More details on the farm: Hogs raised for Mclean pork products live in large pens with room to roam, socialize and nest.  The hogs are fed a vegetarian grain diet. The hogs used to make this product were also raised without the use of the growth promoter Ractopamine Hydrochloride, growth hormones* or antibiotics. *Note: In Canada it is now illegal to raise hogs with growth hormones.

The Canadian government allows pork producers to use Ractopamine Hydrochloride (also known as Palean). Palean is a drug that is not considered a growth hormone by Health Canada. Pork producers have been using Palean since 2006 to increase animal size and subsequently their profits. It is not a permitted substance in the Organic standards. In addition, 160 nations around the world (including the European Union and the Republic of China) currently ban the use of this drug. It is believed that Palean can be linked to hyperactivity, muscle breakdown and an increase in hog mortality. Mclean Meats does not support the use of Palean in hog production.
