WARRENVILLE HEIGHTS, Ohio — Heinen’s Fine Foods said Monday that it would exclusively stock a line of Shepherd’s Pride lamb products with source labeling from Where Food Comes From.
"Knowing where your food comes from is the basis for knowing everything about what you eat," Tom Heinen, co-president of Heinen’s, said in a statement. “We only accept the very best for our customers, so we take great pride in the specifications that go into the sourcing of our food products. The Where Food Comes From labeling program has helped us provide our customers with information about the sources of our beef, pork and now our American lamb. Our ultimate goal is for Heinen's shoppers to look at our entire meat case and understand where, how and by whom their food was raised.”
