Friland’s Free Range pigs are born and bred on Danish farms where animal welfare and the environment are of paramount importance.
The production of Free Range pigs is subject to the inspection principles laid down by the
Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. The Danish Animal Welfare Society also inspects the farms annually to ensure that the farmers comply with the requirements under which the pigs are reared.
