Rejected petition Method of production labelling for all meat and dairy foods sold in the UK.

More details

We call upon the Minister of State for Agriculture and Food, Jim Paice MP, to introduce new legislation so that all meat and dairy products, for example chicken, cheese and bacon are clearly and honestly labelled to show the farm system used to rear the animal.

If method of production labels were mandatory, shoppers would be able to make an informed choice, buying products such as meat and cheese based on animal.

This petition is part of the Labelling Matters campaign, being run in partnership by Compassion in World Farming, RSPCA, Soil Association and WSPA. www.LabellingMatters.org
