The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has published its response to the consultation on labelling for animal welfare and states that the “Evidence provided indicates the potential of mandatory labelling reform to make it easier for consumers to purchase products that align with their values, support UK farmers, and improve animal welfare.
As a result, we have committed to consult on proposals to expand and reform mandatory welfare labelling. We will take into account call for evidence responses and engage with stakeholders throughout the supply chain as we develop consultation proposals.”
