Consumers will be able to access a directory of businesses serving humanely produced food from this October.

The RSPCA's Choose Wisely campaign will launch a website which includes a search tool that gives shoppers and diners information about cafés and restaurants that serve higher welfare food.

Close to 85 per cent of Australians agreeing that meat, eggs and dairy products sold in Australia should be farmed in a humane way, but it can be challenging to find out the origin of food when eating out. Choose Wisely lists businesses by locality and cuisine that are serving higher welfare food such as cage-free eggs.

Celebrities such as health and fitness guru Michelle Bridges have thrown their support behind the campaign.
