What is organic pork?

When you choose Danish organic pork from Friland, you are choosing meat
that is produced by Danish farmers for whom the environment and animal
welfare are a key priority in their day-to-day operations on the farm. Friland
has established a number of requirements to ensure that customers are
supplied with the highest possible meat quality:

• High animal welfare standards

• High environmental standards

• Feed without GMO, chemical fertilisers or chemical pesticides

• High food safety standards from farm to fork

• High eating quality, with specific quality parameters

• Food with more taste

 

Organic food is characterised by the following:

• No chemical pesticide residues
• Cleaner groundwater due to zero use of chemical pesticides
• High animal welfare standards with production methods that respect animals’ natural behaviour
• Clean food without impurities; organic food is not tainted with artificial colourings and flavours
• Organic soil supports a richer and cleaner fauna and flora
