The Organic Consumers Association (OCA) has announced the settlement of a lawsuit alleging Handsome Brook Farms mislabeled eggs as “Pasture Raised” despite being sourced from non-pasture producers or from producers not meeting standards for pasture-raised products. OCA noted that since the suit was filed, Handsome Brook’s new management has developed internal audit processes and supply chain management to ensure compliance with American Humane Association standards for pasture-raised eggs. The settlement includes Handsome Brook’s agreement to participate in independent third-party auditing of its sales and purchase records for 18 months.
