Introduction of state animal welfare labeling postponed again
Published
The German federal government has postponed the introduction of the state animal welfare labeling system for the third time. The planned logo is intended to help consumers in Germany see at a glance how the animals from which the purchased products originate were kept.
The labeling system is a key project of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. It is intended to ensure greater transparency in supermarkets and promote animal welfare in agriculture. The original goal was for the logo to enable customers to make more conscious purchasing decisions.
However, the renewed delay is meeting with criticism. Environmentalists and animal welfare organizations in particular have expressed their disappointment regarding the postponement. They are calling for faster implementation in order to improve conditions in livestock farming in the long term and to provide consumers with reliable information.
So far, there is no new, binding date for the launch of the labeling. The federal government must now clarify how the project will proceed and when consumers in Germany can expect to see the new logo in stores.
