Invite your MP to our mandatory labelling drop-in event
Calling all supporters! Join us, by demonstrating your support in urging your MP to attend our labelling event on 28 January between 12:30 and 3:30 pm.
There is no mandatory UK legislation covering meat and dairy labelling. Currently, the vast majority of labels on food products don’t provide a clear description of how the animal was reared or the welfare standards applied to the animals. The introduction of mandatory labelling of food products has the potential to transform consumer behaviour and buying patterns, contributing to improved levels of animal welfare overall.
Take back the power to make decisions
Misleading imagery on products and a lack of clear, easy-to-understand labelling information means that consumers are less likely to make animal welfare a conscious factor when choosing animal products.
Mandatory labelling of animal products helps consumers make informed choices to support production processes more respectful of animal welfare. This choice can also influence the food industry to respond to the production of higher welfare produce and to do so more quickly.
We're supporting clearer food labelling
We're supporting the introduction of two types of labels that will inform consumers about:
- How that animal was kept
- How that animal was killed
We believe the development of a clear and accessible food labelling system will reflect consumer desire for greater transparency over how food is produced. Giving consumers a choice when buying food products can have a direct impact on animal welfare.
Make sure your MP attends
Change starts with the choice, make sure your MP attends.
