WHAT’S NEW continued on page 18 Traceable down is but one example of this. Down is a by-product of the bird-meat industry. In instances the birds have been know to be force fed to produce foie gras (duck-liver pate); the birds can sometimes be live plucked, causing them trauma, injury and illness.

We’ve established and implemented the highest animal welfare standard in the industry in order to make these birds’ lives as painless and humane as possible.
