🌭 Applegate Announces Goal to Source Entire Beef Hot Dog Portfolio from 100% Certified Regenerative Beef by the End of 2025

This goal will transition six million acres of grasslands to regenerative
“By working to shift our entire beef supply chain, consumers can support regenerative practices without having to forgo our organic and natural hot dogs they already love. This, in turn, will help to incentivize farmers and the industry to move regenerative agriculture practices from niche to norm." - Joseph O'Connor, President of Applegate
