Pork standards
To be Red Tractor assured, our pig farm members must work to maintain a rigorous set of standards that keep animal welfare at their core and ensure we can deliver full supply chain traceability and safety.
Red Tractor’s requirements cover both indoor and outdoor pig farms, to ensure high welfare standards are met on all certified pig farms, regardless of the production system.
Our pork standards include:
All Red Tractor pigs
must be clearly
identifiable by tag,
tattoo or mark before
leaving the farm to
maintain traceability.
Safe, comfortable
and hygienic
housing must be
available for pigs.
Pigs must have sufficiently
sized housing and be kept
in appropriate groups.
The health and welfare
of the pigs must be
proactively managed including whilst they are being transported.
