RSPCA

The RSPCA has launched a campaign around higher welfare picnics following research shows that although the majority of us (56%) think animal welfare is important when shopping for picnic food - it is hard to find in the supermarket due to confusing labels, a limited range and people don't know what to look for. The RSPCA has teamed up with Richard Johnson, TV presenter and food writer, to develop a range of delicious recipes which will encourage more people to roll up their sleeves and make their own higher welfare party and picnic goodies.
