Hi all

 

I got an email from the Chicken Out campaign yesterday with details of an Early Day Motion (EDM) going round Parliament calling for better labelling on chicken meat and raising welfare standards. You can check if your MP has signed it, and if not, urge them to consider it - see http://action.ciwf.org.uk/ea-campaign/clientcampaign.do?ea.client.id=119&ea.campaign.id=2790

 

Apologies if you're already aware of this, but it's such a good cause it can't hurt to keep it front of mind!

 

Here's the full wording of the EDM:

 

That this House believes that all chicken meat, including imported chicken meat, should be labelled as to farming method and preferably stocking density; further believes the labelling regulation that requires packs of shell eggs to be labelled as to production method should be extended to chicken meat; congratulates Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Compassion in World Farming on their Chicken Out! campaign calling on supermarkets to introduce labelling as to farming method to allow consumers to make informed choices; notes that most UK chickens are still reared intensively in overcrowded conditions and have been bred to grow so quickly that many suffer from lameness and heart problems; and calls on the Government to make it a requirement for all chicken producers to meet the conditions of the RSPCA's Freedom Food scheme.
