We will implement the requirements of the Europäischen Masthuhn-Initiative for 100% of the chicken meat sourced for Europe - provided the required quantities are available on the market - by 2026 at the latest. The Studierendenwerk Vorderpfalz publishes annual reports on the progress of the implementation and has independent controls ensure compliance with the standards.The European Broiler Chicken Initiative originates from an association of 30 animal welfare organisations with the essential goal of improving the keeping of broiler chickens. Important animal welfare aspects such as a lower stocking density, the restriction of over-breeding and minimum standards for light and materials are implemented.
