The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to introduce mandatory method-of-production labelling for animal products.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

On 12 June 2025, we published the summary of responses and the Government response to the fairer food labelling consultation, which was undertaken last year by the previous Government. The response is available here on GOV.UK.

We will consider the potential role of method of production labelling reform as part of the ongoing development of the Government’s animal welfare strategy.
