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!
