Animal Welfare: Labelling

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will take steps to implement an animal welfare labelling scheme to support British farmers.

Answer

On 12 June 2025, we published the summary of responses and the Government response to the fairer food labelling consultation, which was undertaken last year by the previous government. The response is available here on GOV.UK.
