GAP stands for Global Animal Parternership. The GAP program is one of the largest animal welfare food labeling programs in North America. The program is validated by third party audits conducted on every participating farm in order to influence the food industry, raise consumer expectations around animal welfare, and create a more sustainable environment.
The GAP program defines animal welfare as three overlapping components that together with good management and genetics, contribute to good farm animal welfare:
- Health and Productivity
- Natural Living
- Emotional Well-Being
