A Greenpeace advisory report confirms: criteria for an animal welfare label in Germany are unconstitutional. The criteria of the planned label are so weak that even pork from animal husbandry from factory farms can receive the state seal of approval. The report analyzes to what extent the criteria previously planned for the regulation, such as space, food or castration, are compatible with German and European law.
The planned animal welfare label is also under criticism, because it would not be binding and thus would not cover all pork products.
Greenpeace calls for a mandatory label.
