http://www.defra.gov.uk/news/2009/090318b.htm
20-Mar-2009 (17 years 2 months 24 days ago)The seventeen members of the new Pig Meat Supply Chain Task Force, set up to identify the biggest challenges faced by the industry and suggest solutions, met for the first time yesterday.
The group is working to improve the resilience of the supply chain through:
• investigating how a standardised code of practice for clearer labelling could be introduced;
• improving pig herd health;
• examining how to increase the amount of produce reared to higher British welfare standards bought through Public Sector procurement; and
• addressing the regulatory burden on the supply chain.
