Farm Animal Welfare: Assessment of Product Labeling Claims and Industry Quality Assurance Guidelines
|
The care and handling of farm animals is mostly unregulated in the United States and, as
a result, animals here are commonly subjected to a number of inhumane practices. The marketplace has been identified as one avenue for improving the lives of animals raised for food. In the past five years, more than one dozen farm animal quality assurance schemes have been developed. These include animal industry quality assurance programs, retail food animal care auditing programs, and third-party organic and humane food certification programs. In addition, developments of government-regulated food labeling and marketing claims relevant to animal welfare are underway.
