Food: Labelling

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment has been made of reforms to food labelling to reflect production method.

Answer

The Government's animal welfare strategy was published on 22 December 2025 and is available here on GOV.UK.

As set out in the strategy, we are committed to ensuring that consumers have access to clear information on how their food was produced. To support this, we will continue working with relevant stakeholders, including the farming and food industry, scientists and NGOs to explore how improved animal welfare food labelling could provide greater consumer transparency, support farmers and promote better animal welfare.
