About

De sloopmelkscanner van Wakker Dier is een informatieve app voor iedereen die het welzijn van melkkoeien aan het hart gaat en in de supermarkt bewustere keuzes wil maken. Door de streepjescode van een zuivelverpakking te scannen, kom je snel te weten of het product sloopmelk bevat. Wakker Dier gebruikt de term sloopmelk voor melk van koeien die veel melk moeten produceren en waarvan de leefomstandigheden niet aan bepaalde dierenwelzijnseisen voldoen. De combinatie van deze twee factoren kan leiden tot gezondheidsproblemen, die de levensduur van de koe kunnen verkorten. Meer informatie over deze definitie en achtergrond is te vinden op de website van Wakker Dier. Hoe werkt het? 1. Scan de streepjescode van een zuivelproduct (kaas, yoghurt, melk, etc.). 2. De app checkt op belangrijke keurmerken zoals Beter Leven keurmerk van de Dierenbescherming of Biologisch. 3. Je ziet direct resultaat: bevat je product sloopmelk of niet.
