Department of Agriculture is stepping up efforts to ensure the veracity of claims about food animal products marketed as "freerange" and "antibiotic free."
We are currently doing an investigation on pig farms in Spain, including intensive and extensive/free-range farms (tho extensive ones are scarce since intensive ones are the majority in the industry).

Temptations treats include the All Naturals range; available in 4 all natural flavors – Wild Alaskan Salmon, Beef Tenderloin, FreeRange Chicken and Yellow Fin Tuna, these natural cat treats have added vitamins and minerals.
