The Co-op has announced that as of July it will source all of its own-brand fresh pork and other products from 100% outdoor bred pigs on RSPCA assured farms.
This decision announced earlier this week will further boost the retailer’s animal welfare credentials and will apply to all of its own-brand fresh pork, bacon, sausages, gammon and ham, including both the standard and premium ranges.
By partnering with Tulip Ltd – the UK’s largest high-welfare pig producer – the Co-op is able to offer complete traceability from farm to fork in its supply chain.

All of the pigs within the producer group will be born outdoors, free from confinement and raised to RSPCA welfare standards.
