Buy at Co-op | RSPCA Assured

Co-op has been selling RSPCA Assured products since 1995,
making them our longest-standing supporter.

As one of the UK's largest retailers of RSPCA Assured products, Co-op has made a firm commitment to prioritising animal welfare. Since 2014, Co-op has been awarded Tier 2 Status in the Business Benchmark Farm Animal Welfare Report, which recognises that animal welfare is integral to their business strategy.

In July 2017, Co-op announced that all of its Irresistible brand fresh pork, bacon, sausage, gammon and ham would be sourced from 100% outdoor-bred pigs on RSPCA Assured farms.

In 2018, Co-op switched their entire range of own-label pork products to British outdoor-bred pork. This ensures care and respect for their livestock and that all pigs will be born outdoors and raised in well-ventilated, spacious straw barns to strict RSPCA welfare standards on farms across the UK.

Co-op is helping more and more pigs across the country to have a better life, but more than that, Co-op is helping to show that higher welfare means doesn’t mean higher retail prices.
