"Knowing where your food comes from is the basis for knowing everything about what you eat," said Tom Heinen. "We take great pride in the specifications that go into the sourcing of our food products. We only accept the very best for our customers. The Where Food Comes From labeling program helps us provide our customers information about the source of our beef and pork products, and lets consumers learn firsthand about where, how and by whom their food was raised."
