Feral Label Quality Standard
Wild Nourishment Certification
The Feral Label defines the highest achievable standard for food and natural products intended for raw consumption. It certifies that every product offered through FeralMarket has been produced, handled, and delivered within systems that equal the ecological and biological quality of optimal wild ecosystems.
Scope
The label applies to all categories of nourishment offered on FeralMarket — animal- and plant-derived foods, wild-sourced or cultivated products, and related natural provisions. It unites independent producers who share one objective: to recreate the nutritional completeness, purity, and balance found in the wild.
Ecological Standards
All certified producers operate within environments that meet the following ecological requirements:
- Living Soils: Active biological regeneration, natural mineral balance, and absence of synthetic inputs.
- Pure Water: Water drawn directly from natural sources, unprocessed and verified for purity.
- Natural Life Cycles: Each species or crop develops within its natural rhythm and diet, avoiding artificial acceleration or restriction.
- Territorial Balance: Animal populations maintained at natural densities that ensure full access to movement, forage, and behavioral expression. Each environment provides the territory required for optimal health, varying by region, ecosystem type, and species.
- Wild Equivalence: Systems are cultivated or managed to match the fertility and complexity of optimal wild ecosystems, or products are sourced directly from verified wild regions.
Production and Handling Standards
The Feral Label sets strict requirements for every stage of production and handling to preserve the food's raw integrity:
- Raw Optimization: All products are developed specifically for safe and beneficial raw consumption.
- Ecological and Technical Precision: Producers maintain precise control over environmental variables such as soil health, water quality, feeding conditions, and environmental stability.
- Handling Integrity: Every human action — from collection and preparation to storage and delivery — follows procedures that protect structure, purity, and vitality.
- No Industrial Processing: No pasteurization, refining, chemical treatment, or other methods that diminish biological quality.
Category-Specific Quality Charts
Beyond the universal ecological standards, each food category has specific quality requirements that ensure optimal wild-equivalent nourishment. These detailed charts define measurable criteria for every product type:
