Organic can offer animals higher welfare access to grass, longer life and more time with their mothers. The Soil Association organic logo provides the highest standards. RESULTS SHOP AROUND Not happy with what your supermarket is doing? Find a more compassionate supermarket or shop around for higher welfare products. VOICE YOUR CONCERNS Stores only sell what their customers want so use comment cards and ask them to raise their farm animal welfare standards. SPREAD THE WORD Tell others how to shop compassionately using this guide.
3 1 ST WINNER OFTHECOMPASSIONATE SUPERMARKETAWARDS M&S CHAMPIONS HIGH-WELFARE FOOD AND RAISES THE STANDARD FOR OTHER SUPERMARKETS. ANIMAL WELFARE IS AT THE HEART OF THEIR BUSINESS.

4 2 ND INTHECOMPASSIONATE SUPERMARKETAWARDS ALSO LEADING THE WAY, WAITROSE HAS A STRONG TRACK RECORD ON ANIMAL WELFARE AND CONTINUES TO MAKE EXCELLENT ADVANCES. Eggs Chicken Turkey & Duck Pigs Beef & Lamb Dairy & Veal Farmed Fish Transport & Slaughter Look out for All All own-label fresh pork, bacon, sausages: stall and crate-free for all its pigs. Piglets are born outdoors and reared on straw. Waitrose free-range and organic pigs spend their lives outdoors All eggs: cage-free All own-label products containing egg: fresh and frozen products are free-range. All products free-range from 2009 All own-label fresh chicken: free-range, organic or indoor with higher welfare own-label duck: free-range with water to swim in
5 3 RD INTHECOMPASSIONATE SUPERMARKETAWARDS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING ANIMAL WELFARE, THE CO-OP SHOWS THAT ANIMAL-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS CAN BE SOLD AT AFFORDABLE PRICES. Eggs Chicken Turkey & Duck Pigs Beef & Lamb Dairy & Veal Farmed Fish Transport & Slaughter Look out for All own-label fresh chicken: British, free-range, organic or indoor with higher welfare from 2008 All own-label eggs: free-range All own-label products containing egg: free-range from 2010 All own-label fresh duck: less intensive, meets RSPCA Freedom Food standard
6 It shows what can be achieved when a big supermarket takes animal welfare seriously. Eggs Chicken Turkey & Duck Pigs Beef & Lamb Dairy & Veal Farmed Fish Transport & Slaughter 4 TH Look out for Woodland Eggs: tree cover improves hen welfare, encouraging birds to range fully outdoors Taste The Difference, Supernaturals, Not Just for Vegetarians, Sainsbury s coffee shops and restaurants: all use free-range eggs Sainsbury s WINNER MOSTIMPROVEDSUPERMARKET ANDBESTVOLUMERETAILER SAINSBURY S HAS MADE GREAT STRIDES IN ANIMAL WELFARE AND WAS THE FIRST OF THE BIG FOUR UK SUPERMARKETS TO COMMIT TO GOING CAGE- FREE ON ALL SHELL EGGS AND EGGS IN ALL OWN-LABEL PRODUCTS BY Kids range: cage-free eggs from 2008
7 5 TH INTHECOMPASSIONATE SUPERMARKETAWARDS THE BIGGEST UK SUPERMARKET, TESCO CAN CHANGE THE LIVES OF BILLIONS OF FARM ANIMALS WHEN IT IMPROVES WELFARE. IT IS STRONG ON ENSURING POLICIES BECOME REALITY THROUGH RIGOROUS AUDITING. Eggs Chicken Turkey & Duck Pigs Beef & Lamb Dairy & Veal Farmed Fish Transport & Slaughter Look out for All dairy produce: from 2008 Tesco male calves stay in the UK, many going to Tesco s high-welfare rearing units. A huge improvement for farm animal welfare Willow Farm Chicken: indoor with higher welfare Tesco Finest Outdoor Reared and Outdoor Bred pork: crate-free and reared outdoors or on straw Tesco Finest and Tesco vegetarian ranges: most use free-range eggs - check the label

9 7 TH 8 TH SOMERFIELD AND ASDA ARE LAGGING BEHIND OTHER SUPERMARKETS ON ANIMAL WELFARE. ASDA REFUSED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION IN 2007 SO ITS SCORES ARE FROM OUR 2005 SURVEY. SHOP MORE COMPASSIONATELY AT SOMERFIELD AND ASDA BY BUYING FREE-RANGE OR ORGANIC PRODUCTS.

11 BEST: MARKS & SPENCER WORST: SOMERFIELD EGGS BUY ORGANIC OR FREE-RANGE Ideally hens have tree cover e.g. Sainsbury s Woodland Eggs. OTHERWISE BUY BARN - hens are indoors but not confined in cages. DON T BUY EGGS FROM CAGED HENS They re the cheapest because hens live in small wire cages, unable to move properly or flap their wings. DON T FORGET EGG INGREDIENT: Cakes, quiches, mayonnaise etc. all use eggs so, unless it says it s cage-free, it probably isn t. Download our egg shopping guide: ciwf.org/eggs
12 BEST: MARKS & SPENCER WORST: ASDA (2005) CHICKEN BUY ORGANIC OR FREE-RANGE If buying indoor birds buy higher welfare: they re slower-growing in enriched environments with more space e.g. RSPCA Freedom Food or Tesco Willow Farm Chicken. DON T BUY CHEAP CHICKENS! They re bred to grow so quickly their bones, heart and lungs often can t keep pace, causing crippling lameness or heart failure. Intensive farms can cram 50,000 chickens in one shed. DON T FORGET CHICKEN INGREDIENT: Sandwiches, ready-meals etc. all use chicken so unless it says it s free-range it probably isn t. DUCK & TURKEY BUY ORGANIC OR FREE-RANGE Look for ducks given enough water for at least dipping their heads or preferably swimming.
13 BEST: MARKS & SPENCER WORST: CO-OP/SOMERFIELD DAIRY &VEAL Dairy cows are bred for maximum milk production, often suffering mastitis, lameness and living just three years. Calves born every year are usually taken away at one-day old. Male dairy calves, seen as unprofitable for beef, are often exported on long journeys to continental veal farms or shot at birth. BUY BRITISH AND ORGANIC Organic cows have pasture and longer with their calves. Soil Association, M&S and Tesco (from 2008) own-label standards don t allow calf exports. British veal calves get more space, bedding and better food than those exported to the continent. If it doesn t say British veal, don t buy it!
14 BEST: WAITROSE WORST: SOMERFIELD PORK &BACON BUY OUTDOOR BRED & REARED Sows naturally build nests but are often confined in sow stalls during pregnancy and narrow farrowing crates to give birth - unable to even turn around. Outdoor bred: No sow stalls or farrowing crates. Piglets are born outdoors. Outdoor reared: Growing pigs spend most of their lives outside. For pigs reared indoors look for deep straw bedded systems. IF IT S NOT BRITISH, BEWARE! Sow stalls are banned in the UK, but are still used across most of Europe and piglets are often routinely castrated without anaesthetic. The Red Tractor logo and the Quality Standard Mark ban castration.
15 FISH BEEF &LAMB BUY BRITISH AND ORGANIC Soil Association organic cattle and lambs have access to pasture. Unless the label says organic, grass-fed or access to pasture, animals may have been reared intensively indoors. BUY SUSTAINABLE OR ORGANIC Only buy fish from sustainable stocks. Look for the Marine Stewardship Council logo. If you do buy farmed fish, buy Freedom Food, organic, or Soil Association organic for higher welfare standards. MSCI0430
