Welfare

Pork used to make Better Naked bacon, ham and sausages is sourced in the British Isles, helping to support local farmers and their families.

Due to outdoor-bred availability issues, the pork sourced comes from pigs reared indoors in full compliance with the Red Tractor, and British Quality Assured Pork (BQAP) welfare standards in the UK and Bord Bia in the Republic of Ireland.

At Better Naked, we take animal welfare very seriously and all our pork can be traced back to the farm it came from and all pig farms are inspected a number of times per year. During these audits, the farms are inspected for food safety, animal welfare, hygiene, biosecurity, disease control and environmental protection through every part of the food chain.

Finnebrogue do not permit the feeding of antibiotics or hormones for purposes of growth promotion.

Our suppliers conform to regulatory standards and use only approved slaughter methods. They are required to have a vet and welfare officer on site who monitors the animal’s health/welfare at all stages, and ensures regulatory procedures are followed.
