No. Growth hormones aren’t used in pigs raised in Canada. We feed your family the same pork we’re proud to feed to our own. Ontario pork farmers work closely with veterinarians when antibiotics are needed. If you’ve ever needed antibiotics, you know that they are an important tool to fight infection and disease. We want our animals to be healthy and happy. Using them wisely is important for both human and animal health. Farmers know that. We follow very strict withdrawal periods to ensure there are no antibiotics in pork by the time it reaches your plate. Because we want healthy, safe and nutritious protein, too. Canadian Food Inspection Agency and provincial inspectors at processing plants rigorously test meat to ensure that pork is safe to eat.
