TV show Jamie’s Fowl Dinners
in 2008, to the ‘food fight’
campaigns we run on Friday
Night Feast, to making sure
we only ever serve higher-
welfare meat in Jamie’s Italian
restaurants across the world.”
He added: “If we all keep
fighting, we can make a real
difference. There’s a lot still
to be done but this award is a
massive boost. So thank you.”
Michael Ward, RSPCA interim
Chief Executive Officer, said:
“Jamie’s influential
engagement within the food
industry has been key to driving
animal welfare standards
up and his work has already
encouraged a huge number of
producers, supermarkets and
consumers to follow suit.
“Through his passion for food
he has developed a unique way
of capturing the attention of the
public and educating people
about the significance of high
animal welfare within food
consumption.
“We are extremely proud
have Jamie’s continued support
and look forward to seeing his
ongoing work to help make the
world a better place for farmed
animals.”
