Waitrose beat other UK supermarkets, such as Sainsburys, Marks and Spencers, Co-op and Morrisons, to be named as the compassionate supermarket of the year in this year’s Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards. The examining body, Compassion in World Foods, scored Waitrose highly is such issues as “stocking densities, freedom to express natural behaviour and the overall well-being, and praised its standards for pigs, chicken and farmed fish”. Two other main awards went to Morrisons (Best-Improved Supermarket) and Sainsburys (Best Volume Supermarket).
