Food Labelling And The Welfare Of Chickens

EDM number 581 in 2008-09, proposed by Mike Hancock on 26/01/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Agriculture, Animal welfare and Food.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 278 MPs, 6 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
