Look for the label...
...if you eat meat, eggs or dairy products and are concerned about welfare then please look out for products carrying the RSPCA’s Freedom Food logo. Freedom Food is the RSPCA’s farm assurance and food labelling scheme that aims to ensure that animals are reared, handled, transported and slaughtered according to strict RSPCA welfare standards developed and monitored by the RSPCA. The RSPCA welfare standards include sections of detailed requirements, based on scientific evidence and practical experience, to ensure the humane handling and slaughter of farm animals. The Freedom Food website provides information on where to buy Freedom Food labelled food. If you can’t find Freedom Food labelled food then look for free-range or organic.

If more consumers insist on higher welfare products, more supermarkets will want to stock them, which will encourage more farmers to improve their farming practices and ultimately more farm animals will benefit.
