We are thinking of you and our environment!
We urge you, as a consumer, to ask for a guarantee that you are not buying down and feathers plucked from live ducks and geese. Flora Danica does not accept feathers and down plucked from live birds.
What is more, we always require a written guarantee from our suppliers that the down does not come from live birds. We regularly take random samples.
The filling of our products comes exclusively from industrial poultry slaughterhouses.
In order to be able to trace back the origin of our down and feathers at all times, we have implemented a system which monitors where the down and feathers come from. Down and feathers are a by-product of meat production. In order words, we refine the waste (down and feathers) we get directly from poultry slaughterhouses.
Furthermore, we only purchase products from the Europe, which means that we are subject to the strictest animal protection legislation in the world. We do not ever buy products labelled ”plucked from live birds”.
