GAP Step 4
US grain-finished beef is GAP Step 4 (stronger tier, kept). Certifier registry also confirms beef exclusively Certified Humane. No AWA/GAP5+ here. [2026-10-06: GAP’s own list shows ButcherBox for chicken only; the source… is a Certified Humane announcement, so this is the seller’s claim.]
