Tractor’s Haymaker Drink Receives a Clean Label Project Certification
Debra John — February 4, 2026
Tractor Beverage Company has announced that its Haymaker ready-to-drink beverage has earned Clean Label Project (CLP) Certification, highlighting a growing focus on environmental responsibility and transparency in the beverage industry. As concerns increase around unseen contaminants in food and drink, third-party testing provides assurance that products meet higher standards for environmental and ingredient integrity.
Haymaker is a certified organic, apple cider vinegar–based sparkling farmer’s tonic that underwent independent, finished-product testing as part of the Clean Label Project certification process. This evaluation screens for industrial and environmental contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, and plasticizers, helping reduce potential environmental and human health impacts associated with ingredient sourcing and production.
The certification applies to several Haymaker flavors, including 'Dragon Berry,' 'Citrus Ginger,' 'Passion Mango,' and 'Apricot Peach.' By meeting CLP standards, Tractor supports cleaner supply chains, more responsible agricultural practices, and reduced exposure to harmful substances.
