DuBreton signs agreement with Ontario producer for supply of animal welfare certified hogs

Saint-Bernard, QC, Canada – Today, duBreton announces the signing of a new agreement with an Ontario pork producer. To ensure and maintain a growing supply of animal welfare certified hogs, duBreton must work with suppliers outside Quebec.

In fact, Appendix 5 of the new hog collective marketing agreement, concerning the movement clause and change of assignment, paralyzes movement between slaughterhouses and blocks producers from applying for new agreements that meet higher animal welfare standards.

"It is deplorable that current regulations are depriving local producers of unique market opportunities to protect the productivity and profitability of some buyers. That's why we've applied to be excluded from the pork producers' joint plan for organic and animal welfare certified products," said Vincent Breton, President of duBreton.

At duBreton, we're proud to offer alternative solutions that meet consumer demands for organic, animal welfare certified and antibiotic-free pigs.
