The labelling system distinguishes between five types of animal housing:
- standard pen,
- pen with increased space,
- open-air pen,
- open-air production,
- organic production.
Initially, the regulation will apply only to fresh pork produced in Germany, both packaged and unpackaged, and sold in supermarkets, butcher shops, and online platforms.
Labelling meat from foreign producers will remain voluntary under the current framework.
