M&S To Switch To Soya-Free Animal Feed In Milk Supply Chain

UK retailer Marks & Spencer plans to eliminate soya from animal feed in its milk supply chain in a bid to curb deforestation.

The move is also a part of the retailer’s innovation programme, which focuses on exploring protein alternatives to soy, as well as different feed formulations.

M&S Food’s director of technology, Paul Willgoss, said, “Soya is widely used in animal feed across the industry because it is fast-growing and protein-rich, but we are all aware of the devastating impact its use is having on Brazilian forests.”
