For the past 15 years, the RSPCA Freedom Food logo (left) has been your assurance that farm animals have been reared to strict RSPCA welfare standards. This Christmas there is more Freedom Food labelled meat, poultry, salmon and eggs available than ever before, so have yourself a higher-welfare Christmas and choose products carrying the distinctive logo. From turkey and duck to salmon canapes and cocktail sausages, it's scrumptious – with scruples.
Improving the welfare of animals reared for food is the sole purpose of Freedom Food but chefs and producers alike agree that there are real taste benefits to farming to higher-welfare standards as well. For example, a slower growing breed of turkey that has been allowed to mature will have a much better flavour – and the meat will have more texture – while pigs that are free to roam or root about in straw will be happier animals, and good-quality feed will translate to really flavourful meat. We’re also showcasing some of Delia’s recipes that are just fabulous for festive feasting, allowing you to make the most of your Freedom Food produce.
Freedom Food has also launched a campaign, Simply Ask, backed by leading chefs and TV cooks. It's calling for people to ask where the food has come from when they eat out, in an effort to raise awareness within the restaurant trade of the importance of farm animal welfare.
