Marks & Spencer is to stop selling imported white veal and calves' liver.
The retailer said it would only sell rose veal, bred in the UK to decent standards following concerns from animal rights campaigners that the animals were reared in small, cramped crates and fed a poor diet.
“We have banned white veal as we were increasingly unhappy with the animal welfare standards associated with the rearing of calves,” M&S director of food Steven Esom told the Independent.
