Since its launch by the Prime Minister in 2000, the Red Tractor has united the food chain in raising standards and verifying that they are being met. Shoppers can be confident that food bearing the Red Tractor has been checked every step of the way from farm to pack.
It is also the firmest guarantee yet that food can be traced right back to the farms from which it came – an assurance that is backed up by regular traceback inspections.
Over 78,000 farmers and growers are now members of the scheme, all committed to maintaining high standards of food safety and hygiene, animal welfare and environmental protection. Source: The Red Tractor
