Food supplements go cruelty-free!

A major first step

Catalyons' decision to adopt cruelty-free labeling marks a highly anticipated first step in the fight for consumer rights/ corporate transparency in France. Animal testing is still routine practice in the food supplement sector, although most consumers have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. Fortified foods and dietary supplements that extol consumer health benefits are almost always tested on animals, increasing profits for the animal experimentation lobby. Yet Catalyons has proved that ethical alternatives are both viable and accessible.

Brand engagement

The One Voice certification process requires real dedication on behalf of complying businesses. In order to obtain a label, One Voice asks that companies prove their commitment to cruelty-free practices at every step along the supply chain. After a thorough assessment, One Voice awarded its label to a series of Catalyons products, ranging from vitamins, food supplements (for humans and animals), and cosmetics (the complete list is available here). The blue label indicates that products have not been tested on animals and are free of animal by-products, while the orange label certifies that products are organic.

Support the movement

Animal-testing procedures that have become commonplace for the food industry can be easily replaced with more innovative techniques. Furthermore, consumers have the right to make well-informed decisions that reflect their convictions and consequentially influence supply and demand. Spread the word!

One Voice suggests that you to write to your favorite brand telling them that you would like to see them change their practices; let us know and we will support your efforts. Let's continue encouraging companies like Catalyons to make strides toward a more ethical future. 

Together, we can end animal testing!
