Better labelling of Britsih Pork

A recent report from a group of MPs has called on the government to support a campaign for pig products to be labelled with country of origin and welfare standard labels.

It came as the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee published its investigation into the country's pig industry this month. It reveals that as much as two thirds of imported pig meat might have been reared in conditions banned in this country.

All PIN pork producers have high animal welfare standards and grow their pigs in Norfolk.
