Every fact, and where we read it

Global Animal Partnership — GAP Animal Welfare Certified (any Step): not listed for beef (checked 2026-10-06). GAP publishes no farm/operation search; its public registry is the 'For Shoppers' list of G.A.P. Certified br…ands and online partners (~58 brand entries, all on one page; /shoppers/page/2/ is empty). Searched that list plus GAP's own site search (admin-ajax autocomplete, which indexes the brand entries) for 'white oak pastures', 'whiteoakpastures', 'white oak': no match. Brand-level only, so a seller selling GAP-certified beef under a supplier's brand would not appear. |

American Grassfed Association — AGA Certified Grassfed: not listed for beef (checked 2026-10-06). Not in AGA's 'Find A Certified AGA Producer' directory. That page embeds a kViewer list, and all 94 records came back from…its records API. We searched farm name, contact, email and website for the seller's name. 11 records show no farm name; their map points fall in IA/WI/IN/MI/AR/OK/NY, so they can't be tied to any seller. NOTE: our file lists welfare_cert 'aga' for this seller, but AGA's own public directory doesn't support it as of 2026-10-06. |

Audubon Conservation Ranching — Audubon Certified bird-friendly land: not listed for beef (checked 2026-10-06). Not in Audubon's 'ACR Enrolled Retailers' layer, the ArcGIS map embedded on Audubon's 'Where To Buy Bird-Fri…endly Beef & Bison' page. We pulled all 2,736 records through the layer's query API (last edited 2026-08-28) and searched the Retailer, Brand, Source Ranch, Website and Address fields. Audubon's public enrolled-ranches layer gives no ranch names, so ranches can't be matched. |

Land to Market (Savory Institute) — Ecological Outcome Verified member; products not stated: listed (checked 2026-10-06). “Land to Market’s 100+ members brands make it possible for regenerative farmers and ranchers to re…ceive the recognition they deserve. … [member logo] White Oak Pastures (links to https://whiteoakpastures.com/) … Profile page title: 'White Oak Pastures | Land to Market Member Profile'” Brand-level member listing on /members, plus a live profile at https://www.landtomarket.com/partners/white-oak-pastures. Neither page names species or products. LTM's newsroom reposts a 2022 UNION salami release (about pork) that calls WOP 'a verified regenerative farm in Bluffton, GA'. LTM's 2022 Earth Day guide lists a WOP 'Land to Market Verified Leather Toiletry Bag', which LTM's holiday guide describes as 'handcrafted from our grassfed leather'. No LTM page names WOP beef as a verified product, and EOV verifies the land base, not a species. Staleness caveats: /members uses the old site nav and isn't linked from the current homepage, and the WOP logo was uploaded Jan 2022. LTM says its live verified-member list is portal-only, so we can't confirm current status from public pages. savory.global returned 403. |

Not among the 379 brands in ROA's Brand & Product Directory or the 561 producers in its Certified Farm & Ranch Di…rectory (https://regenorganic.org/certified-farm-ranch-directory/). Both lists loaded in full, and we searched names, websites and product text. 'White Oak Farm LLC' (Oconomowoc, WI; field crops) is a different business. |

Antibiotics Certifier check |
USDA Process Verified Program — No USDA PVP for beef (checked for No Antibiotics Ever, Never Ever 3, NHTC, no added hormones, grass fed): not listed for beef (checked 2026-10-06). Searched the Official Listing of Approve…d USDA Process Verified Programs (Last Revised October 02, 2026; 82 pp, 172 certificates) and the AMS PVP Directory (80 entries) for the seller's brand/company and known parent names.

Hormones Certifier check |
USDA NHTC Program — Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC) approved source (EU export verification): not listed for beef (checked 2026-10-06). Searched the AMS 'Official Listing of Approved Sources of Non-Hormone Treated Catt…le' (linked from ams.usda.gov/services/imports-exports/nhtc; Last Revised April 25, 2025; 14 approved sources: AzTx Cattle Co., BeefTraxx, Big Blue Sale Barn, EarthClaims, Elite Beef Producers, FSNS Certification & Audit, IMI Global (Where Food Comes From), Legacy Verified, Lindsay Ranch, M&R Cattle Company, Morgan Ranch, Ranchers Connecting Ranchers, Samson LLC, TechniTrack). No match by brand or parent. Caveat: individual farms/ranches enrolled under these cattle-management-group programs are listed on FSIS PartnerShare, which is not public; the 'NHTC Supplier List' .xls linked on the AMS page is a blank template. So a seller's cattle could be NHTC-enrolled through a CMG without appearing on this public list. Hormone claim on file 'no_added_hormones_certified' is not corroborated by this listing. |
