hormone free

No synthetic chemicals

Hormone free describes food products, especially meat and dairy, marketed as coming from animals not treated with growth hormones or other synthetic hormones: hormone-free chicken, hormone-free milk.

The label appeals to health-conscious consumers, though its significance varies—some hormones are already prohibited in certain livestock, making the claim technically true but potentially misleading.
