Sponsors, Freedom Food work with industry to improve welfare
Freedom Food is a farm assurance and food labelling scheme set up by the RSPCA in 1994 to improve farm animal welfare and to address growing consumer demand for higher welfare produce. It is the only farm assurance scheme in the UK with improved welfare as its primary goal, and is completely independent from the food industry.
The Freedom Food label enables shoppers to recognise higher welfare products - products that come from animals reared on farms inspected to strict RSPCA welfare standards, with assured traceability from farm to fork.
The Freedom Food certification mark gives consumers the assurance that the scheme is backed by the RSPCA, one of the most respected animal charities in the world. In addition, the government has recognised Freedom Food as a 'higher level' assurance scheme.
Freedom Food currently has salmon standards for hatcheries, freshwater salmon, marine salmon, well boat transfer to slaughter, slaughter, processing and packing.
