State animal husbandry labelling is a new label specified by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture and basically distinguishes between five types of husbandry. Initially, this labelling is only available for pre-packaged and non-pre-packaged Pork<\/strong>that comes from animals kept, slaughtered and processed in Germany. However, the labelling obligation is to be extended in future to include processed products, catering and other animal species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until the year 2025, there will be two-year transition period<\/strong>The new law is based on the principle that the state animal husbandry labelling system can already be applied voluntarily - according to this, those affected in food retail and wholesale, at service counters, in specialist shops and online retailers must label meat accordingly. For pre-packaged food, the label must be placed in the main field of vision on the packaging. In the case of non-pre-packaged food, the labelling is carried out using a sign such as a counter card, which must be attached to the food itself or in the immediate vicinity - in this case, the meat may only be labelled with the name of the farming method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
