Preview:When buying meat, dairy products or eggs, consumers are increasingly concerned about the living conditions of the animals from which foodstuffs are derived. Anses has published guidelines for the development of specific animal welfare labelling for products of animal origin. Implementing this proposal would harmonize labels now and in the future. A major feature is that these are based on scientific indicators of animal welfare, measured directly from the animals themselves, not just the conditions under which they are farmed. Another is that they take into account not only the living conditions of food-producing animals, but also those of their bloodlines.
