Summary

This mEATquality video explains decoding pig meat labels to identify husbandry practices. It deciphers tiered systems (e.g., levels for space, air, outdoor runs, organic) via packaging icons/text, empowering informed choices on welfare and sustainability.

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
Teaser:	Unlock pig farming secrets hidden in your pork labels.
What problem does the tool address?:	Consumers struggle to distinguish pork from various husbandry practices due to unclear, inconsistent labels, making it hard to choose products aligned with welfare, sustainability, or organic preferences.
What solution does the tool offer?:	Tiered labeling systems (e.g., EU levels 1-5: stall to organic) with icons, descriptions of space/enrichment/outdoor access, and verification to transparently signal husbandry standards like stall housing, fresh air stables, or pasture.
