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.
