Welfare & Conservation

While our large range of foods are great experiences to enjoy, it is important to assure you that wherever they are sourced they are offered with an understanding of their environmental and welfare implications.

We have therefore researched our sources in depth to make sure each product is only offered to you if they are part of a production system which is in keeping with the welfare and conservation policies of the EU. All of the meats featured on this site are processed meat plants which are certified by the EU Food Standard Agency under licence to be acceptable in Welfare, Hygiene and Conservation.

CITES

CITES (The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between Governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival.

All meat offered on this site can only come to you as part of this policy. This means that it is either farmed - usually for the skin and the meat is a by product, or under a hunting licence in order to keep the population under control so that the ecosystem is not harmed.
