When it comes to animal welfare, we don't cut corners
As animal lovers at heart, we are committed to the welfare of the farmed animals in our supply chain. We have always believed that farmed animals should be treated with kindness, compassion, and respect at every stage of their lives. Our approach to animal welfare is rigorous, with 100% of the meat we use in our food certified to comprehensive animal welfare standards.
Our animal welfare philosophy
To maintain high animal welfare standards, we established a robust and comprehensive 3-tier farm animal welfare program. 100% of our meat proteins comply with Open Farm’s 8 Principles of Animal Welfare.

Animal welfare is all about the details
Animal welfare is all about the details
Our animal welfare program considers every aspect of a farmed animal’s life – from diet to space, to bedding, to handling – and that’s just a few of the things on our list when selecting our certification partners. Animal welfare is all about the details. For this reason, each animal has their own specific set of requirements based on their unique needs and wants.
