I found two pamphlets in my Kroger store. One is about Private Selection Natural meats and the other is about Private Selection Organic beef and chicken.

Private Selection Natural meat producers never use antibiotics, growth hormones, preservatives, or artificial ingredients. The animals are raised on a healthy, strictly vegetarian diet, with open-air access in a comfortable, reduced-stress environment. Private Selection Natural meats come only from the best breeds, raised according to our exact protocols.

Private Selection Organic chicken and beef products are USDA certified. This means that the poultry and prepared products that come from livestock are raised in an eco-friendly environment, on farms and ranches dedicated to environmental stewardship. The animals are raised the way nature intended, with no antibiotics or added hormones ever administered. Private Selection Organic meats come only from the best breeds, raised according to our exact protocols.

Except where noted, these apply to both PS Natural and PS Organic meat:

• Animals never administered growth hormones
• Animals never administered antibiotics
• Animals fed vegetarian diets
• Feed certified wholly organic, with no animal by-products, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or GMOs (PS Organic only)
• Animals allowed to grow at their natural pace and develop natural immune system
• Animal well-being, low-stress living environment
• Products processed without chermicals, toxins, or artificial ingredients
• No nitrates, nitrites, preservatives, artificial coloring, or MSG
• All meat - no cereal fillers
• Grown by certified small farmers and ranchers, not "factory" farms
• Focus on sustainable land, water, and soil conservation
• Reforestation effort nationwide for better water, air and wildlife protection
