hormone-free
No chemical messengers
Hormone-free describes food products, especially meat and dairy, raised or produced without added hormones: hormone-free chicken, hormone-free milk.
The label appears on packaging to appeal to health-conscious consumers, though its meaning varies—some animals are never given hormones regardless of labeling, making the claim technically true but potentially misleading.
