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

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.
