To continue to meet these rising expectations requires both leadership and collaboration with food chain stakeholders, academia, and the veterinary community.

Stakeholders across the food supply chain face increasing skepticism from customers, consumers and investors demanding transparency, not only on food safety and ingredients, but also animal welfare, labor/business practices and environmental impact.  In our first-ever Transparency in Animal Protein consumer research study, two-thirds of consumers reported transparency in animal protein – meat, fish, eggs and dairy – is extremely or very important and they also identified animal care and sustainability as important purchase considerations. Merck Animal Health is sponsoring the Center for Food Integrity’s Transparency Summit this November in Chicago, and CEO Charlie Arnot is our guest on the Caring for Animals & Creating Trust in Food podcast.
