wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2025-06-13 14:33:00

The first reason ButcherBox earned our top spot is the packaging, which was much sturdier than several other boxes we tried. The last thing anyone wants is to come home to a box of spoiled meat. The second is sourcing transparency. While humane-washing is a real thing and ButcherBox does not disclose the names of specific farms it works with, it offers third-party oversight, like Certified Humane and USDA Organic certification. It’s not perfect, but it’s something. You can select from two subsc
