Animal welfare commitment:the union of the Spanish meat sector for animal welfare
This new seal complies with the "Five Freedoms" and the Animal Welfare principles established by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH). The best technical and academic specialists in this field have participated in its development, and it has been endorsed by high-level Scientific Committees, resulting in a certification system that includes requirements based on more demanding scientific and technical criteria than those required by the European and national regulations, the most demanding in the world.
The objective is to strictly guarantee that the products have been certified by the technical regulations of the respective certification schemes developed by the six InterprofessionalOrganisations and certified by independent certification bodies accredited by the Spanish National Accreditation Body (ENAC). Consequently, the rigor and objectivity of the common seal is guaranteed.
In the case of the white pork sector, we started this adventure three years ago and we were the promoters of the initiative, currently having more than 60% of certified livestock production. For this reason, the culmination of this entire process is the new common seal that shows a culture of animal welfare from "Farm to fork" of the entire sector.
The seal provides recognition and solidity and allows its adaptation to each livestock production, endorsing the good practices carried out in the areas of welfare, animal health, biosecurity, and traceability in all links of the production chain, and is responsibly aligned with the Green Deal, and therefore is also committed to sustainability, quality and food safety.
Finally, "CompromisoBienestar Animal" and the respective certification schemes are in a continuous process of verification and improvement, and will show how we have the most efficient and demanding production model, and also with maximum transparency and guarantee to the consumer.
