European Union: EFSA Evaluates EU Animal Welfare Situation in Farm To Fork REFIT Effort

The European Farm to Fork (F2F) Strategy includes a review of EU animal welfare (AW) legislation and requirements in European animal production. In December 2020, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) announced a slew of scientific reviews of EU AW regulations for 2022 that may serve as the basis for new legislative initiatives. Because farmers view new AW requirements as costly, the idea of potential AW labeling as a tool for consumers to justify price differentiation is also being discussed.
