In July 2025, Switzerland began requiring labels that reveal when animals suffered painful procedures during production of meat, eggs, milk, foie gras, and even frog legs.

🔹Foie gras from force-fed birds must be clearly marked
🔹Applies to retail, restaurants, and small businesses
🔹New ban on fur from cruel practices; violators face prosecution.
Goal: transparency so consumers can make informed choices.
