Notes de l'éditeur
- Leaving citizens uninformed about the reality of animal farming and the supply chain implies a lack of transparency and also limits individuals’ rights to choose ‘animal-friendly’ products. Implementing ethical traceability and informed food choices entails creating a new kind of civil society, composed by ‘ethically competent’ citizens/consumers.
- Though the effectiveness of the labeling system may vary among Member States, and also among different national cultures, level of health literacy, socio-economic status, and ethical sensibility, still more information may lead to more commitment toward animal welfare.
- Increasing transparency and providing more information about the lives of farm animals in the form of food labels does not necessarily imply that consumers will be competent enough or even inclined to accept this responsibility. Information on the label has a chance of reaching the average consumer
- . The challenge is to reach more and more significant numbers of consumers who care enough about animal welfare to look at a label. The first step is to design a food label that provides the maximum amount of useful animal-welfare information, disclosing some concrete and pertinent information about underlying animal-treatment practices.
