Description/Abstract

This report serves two aims. Firstly, this report contains analysis of the retail audit
(sub-deliverable 1.2.2.1) of welfare-friendly food products in the 6 study countries.
The report gives the results of an emerging comparative analysis of the ‘market’ for
welfare-friendly food products in the 6 study countries. It also outlines ‘non-retailer’
led schemes1 whose products occurred in the study. In this way, an emerging picture
of the actual product ranges, that make claims about welfare-friendliness, will be
drawn based on fieldwork carried out from November 2004 until April 2005. Also,
the report explores how the different legislative and voluntary standards on animal
welfare compare across different countries and how these actively advertise their
welfare-friendlier component to consumers through food packaging.
