What this means

Our record lists Birds Eye Green Cuisine as a brand of Birds Eye Limited, which sits under Nomad Foods Limited. Ownership is a separate question from how a product is made: a brand can hold its own certifications while its parent company operates under different policies.

Birds Eye Green Cuisine appears on one scheme we check: The Vegan Society Trademark. Each scheme sets its own criteria, so read the certifier's own entry, linked above, for what it covers.

We have not yet verified an animal-testing position for Birds Eye Limited, so we make no claim either way. We publish sourced facts and dates so you can judge them yourself; see how we verify.

  2. Supports: Green Cuisine products are marketed as vegan/vegetarian alternatives. Some individual products carry the Vegan Society trademark seal of approval (e.g., Cumberland-style sausages verified as of April 2022), indicating individual products are certified vegan by The Vegan Society. However, not all products in the range are stated to carry formal vegan certification.

  3. Supports: Nomad Foods publishes an Animal Welfare Standard and policy emphasizing 'ethical and humane treatment of all animals in our supply chain' and membership in Global Coalition for Animal Welfare. However, no explicit company-wide policy against animal testing for food ingredients or finished products was found in publicly available sources. The company emphasizes third-party audits and certifications for animal welfare in farmed animal supply chains.
