No added hormones is normal in most countries, but apparently in the USA you need to go out of your way to not do that.

When I think of a national brand in the US that everyone would assume the worst of, that is available at ordinary non-WF supermarkets, I think of Tyson, and yet their chicken is prominently labeled "no antibiotics ever" and "no added hormones or steroids".

I think this may be a case of "gluten free sugar".

Added hormones in chicken are illegal in the USA

(and as far as I know only chicken)

The US also has radically cheaper groceries than virtually any other developed country.

Nonsense. A quick Google search[0] shows that the following countries all have cheaper groceries than the US: Spain, Germany, Netherlands.

Partly this is due to lower transport costs.
