Agriculture – Bundestag decides animal welfare label – Economy

In the future, when buying meat in the supermarket, a state logo will also provide information about the form of animal husbandry. On Friday, the Bundestag passed a law by Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir (Greens) that provides for mandatory labeling for domestic products. It is to start this year initially with fresh pork in the trade. A system is planned with five husbandry categories during fattening from the legal minimum standard to organic. The large supermarket chains have been voluntarily labeling their husbandry for a long time. The Bundestag also approved simplifications in building law for farmers who convert stables in accordance with the law for better husbandry conditions.
