The RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme is Australia’s leading independent certification program focused on farm animal welfare. The program works closely with producers to make a positive impact on the lives of farm animals by improving their quality of life. The RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme is underpinned by animal-specific standards that go beyond legal requirements and are informed by science and evidence, developed by RSPCA Australia’s Science Team.
When you see the RSPCA Approved logo on salmon, this means the salmon in that package has been raised to a higher-welfare standard, by a producer certified by the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme.
The RSPCA Approved certification means that salmon has come from farms where fish are raised according to the RSPCA’s detailed animal welfare Standard. Farms are assessed regularly by an RSPCA Assessor to ensure conformance with the Standard, leading to better salmon welfare.
