Abstract

Animal welfare is considered an important attribute of an overall ‘food quality concept’, and there is a growing realisation of a link between animal welfare and food safety. Threats to animal welfare, including stress-induced immunosuppression and promotion of foodborne pathogens, and genetic modifications have the potential to compromise the healthiness and safety of food. The growth in the organic farming sector presents new animal welfare and food safety concerns with regard to animal health security, the prevalence of zoonotic diseases, and the presence of toxic residues in the food produced.
