BUY ORGANIC OR FREE-RANGE
Free-range means animals get access to the outdoors. Organic can guarantee other benefits such as access to grass, a longer life and more time with their mum. Look for the Soil Association's logo for the highest organic standards.
Stores often sell higher welfare standard products – see each supermarket page for details.
SHOP AROUND & KNOW YOUR LABELS
If you’re not happy with what your supermarket is doing – shop somewhere else! Try a more compassionate supermarket or look for certified free-range and organic produce at farmers' markets, independent shops or online delivery schemes.

VOICE YOUR CONCERNS
Use supermarket customer comment cards to voice your concerns about animal welfare. Stores only sell what their customers will buy, so ask them to raise their standards. If you don’t tell them they won’t know that farm animal welfare matters to you. Customer choices change animals’ lives.
