FSA ANNUAL ANIMAL WELFARE REPORT 2022/23

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) have published a board paper to provide an update on their activities delivered through the ‘Deter, Prevent, Detect, Enforce’ Animal Welfare Action Plan and its objective of making ongoing improvements to animal welfare in slaughterhouses in England and Wales.  The paper also highlights additional work completed in the period and summarises:

  • the progress made in delivering against the Animal Welfare Action Plan and positive reactive work that impact the delivery of animal welfare policy within slaughterhouses resulting in a 5% reduction in non-compliances.
  • the progress made relating to farm and transport activity resulting in a 2% reduction in non-compliances.  Noting that the FSA works in partnership with APHA and LAs who are responsible for regulation and enforcement of non-compliant producers and transporters.
  • the ongoing activities to improve animal welfare implementation and assurance in slaughterhouses in England and Wales on behalf of policy owning departments, particularly in the areas of farm and transport referrals to APHA and LAs, and religious slaughter.
  • the FSA position of zero tolerance towards any breaches of animal welfare with proportionate enforcement and collaborative working with other regulators.
