Krispy Kreme published a global expansion of its 2016 U.S. cage-free commitment. The company also shared that its operations in Russia, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Turkey are already 100 percent cage-free and that Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the Middle East and India are eggless. This global policy, secured in coordination with partner organizations, commits to cage-free systems by 2026.
Earlier this year, Cencosud, Brazil’s fourth-largest retailer group, committed to sourcing only cage-free eggs in the country by 2028. Now the group has expanded its commitment to Chile. Cencosud committed to eliminating cruel cages for all of its eggs sold through Jumbo Chile and Spid35 Chile. A third brand under the company’s umbrella will source half their eggs from cage-free facilities.
Pif Paf Alimentos, a leading food producer in Brazil, has also committed to eliminating cage systems for hens in its Brazilian supply chain. Mercy For Animals has been in discussions with the company since 2019. One of the top 10 companies in the meat and food-processing sector, Pif Paf Alimentos could impact over one million hens with this cage-free commitment.
