New research commissioned by the RSPCA finds that people are choosing to buy more Freedom Food labelled indoor chicken than ever before, whilst standard chicken is taking a downturn. The research - carried out by Kantar Worldpanel for RSPCA Freedom Food - revealed growth and spend on Freedom Food indoor reared chicken is far outstripping standard, with £55.2 million increase in consumer spending on Freedom Food labelled chicken (from £16.4 million to £71.6 million) since March last year. This compares to a drop of more than £26 million for standard chicken.
The growth in the amount of Freedom Food chicken sold in supermarkets has also overtaken standard up more than 15 million kg - from 5.6 to 20.7 million - compared to a decrease of 11 million for standard. This news comes more than two years after chicken welfare hit the headlines with high profile campaigns by Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. The research shows that Sainsbury’s is the largest retailer of Freedom Food chicken, followed by Tesco and then Morrisons.
