Animal Welfare & Organic

We Take Responsibility

Animal welfare is close to our hearts

From sourcing to processing
For us, animal welfare does not begin with the finished product, but with the careful selection of our suppliers. We work with established, audited partners and apply clear criteria for housing, transport, and processing. Independent inspections, short transport routes, and transparent processes ensure that responsibility remains more than just a promise.

Our commitment:

  • All suppliers of animal products are assessed and evaluated according to our animal welfare criteria.
  • We offer a permanent range with enhanced animal welfare standards.
  • We provide an organic product range.

We do not see animal welfare as a trend, but as part of our responsibility. Together with our partners, farmers, customers, and guests, we aim to find a practical and reasonable path forward.

Animal welfare is a matter of attitude

As a family-owned company based in Westphalia, we take responsibility for animal welfare throughout the entire supply chain. In conventional livestock farming, we consciously focus on measurable improvements and long-term partnerships. Through careful supplier selection and regular in-house inspections, we actively promote animal welfare. All meat suppliers are personally visited, audited, and continuously evaluated.

We place particular emphasis on short transport routes: the pigs we source are transported live for an average distance of only around 60 kilometers. This reduces stress for the animals and creates reliable conditions for responsible quality.

Particularly important to us are:

Independent inspections

Short animal transport routes

Camera-monitored, secure slaughter processes

Continuous improvement of animal health

Medication monitoring

ORGANIC – Going one step further

In the organic sector, animal welfare is consistently at the forefront. At the same time, organic also means responsible stewardship of the environment and natural resources – from soil and water to air and biodiversity. Anyone aiming to implement a sustainably oriented food concept will find the right foundation in our organic range.

For those who wish to gradually further develop their animal welfare standards, we offer additional solutions: we are happy to support kitchens that voluntarily commit to higher animal welfare standards in cooperation with the European Chicken Commitment. Together, we develop an individual roadmap – from entry-level solutions with our animal welfare range through to a consistent organic alignment.
