An investigation finds supermarkets sell imported ham produced under conditions banned in the UK.
Animal welfare campaigners say it is time supermarkets stopped selling premium ham produced by EU farmers still using methods banned in the UK.
Trade body the British Retail Consortium said UK stores led the way in requiring high welfare standards. Meanwhile one retailer, Waitrose, vowed to end the use of sow stalls in any of its pork production, saying: "Animal welfare is key to our brand. We have led the way for pig welfare in the UK and now we want to ensure that sow stalls have no place in our supply chain by 2025".
Sarah Moyes, CiWF's senior campaigns manager, said: "People who pay a premium for products like Parma ham are likely to be shocked to discover that these 'high-end' products are from systems that keep animals in such cruel cages. It is argued that using stalls allows for better individual feeding, protection from aggressive behaviour by other pigs and easier access for veterinary attention.
