- The mark can be found on chicken, pork, lamb, beef, fruit, vegetables, salad, flour, sugar and dairy products.
- Indicates that the food can be traced back to farms producing under Assured Food Standards (AFS).
- Standards for fruit, vegetables, salad, flour and sugar cover all aspects of the production process including the need for safe food storage and transport. The emphasis is on good practice in relation to protecting the environment.
- Standards for livestock, poultry and dairy production are based on the Five Freedoms, as defined by the Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC):
- Freedom from hunger and thirst - by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain the animals' full health and vigour.
- Freedom from discomfort - by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
- Freedom from pain, injury or disease - by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.
- Freedom to express normal behaviour - by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal's own kind.
- Freedom from fear and distress - by ensuring conditions and care which avoid mental suffering.
- AFS guarantees that products featuring the Union Jack attached to the Red Tractor logo have been born, raised, slaughtered, grown, prepared and packaged entirely within the UK and in accordance with their strict standards.
