Nearly a decade ago Ahold Delhaize promised to go 100% cage-free, but has not followed through on that promise. Ahold Delhaize is the parent company of Food Lion, The Giant Company, and Giant Food, Stop & Shop, and Hannaford.

Hens who are confined to filthy and cruel battery cages are denied everything natural and important to them. They are forced to lay eggs in the same cramped, unsanitary space where they defecate, sleep, and eat, oftentimes being forced to live amongst their dead and decaying cagemates. These sensitive and inquisitive animals are also denied basic natural behaviors – like perching and dust bathing – which is detrimental to their health and well-being. 

Ahold Delhaize’s failure to keep its promise undermines both its credibility as a retail leader and its trustworthiness with customers. 

Ahold Delhaize, it's time to put an end to selling eggs from vile battery cages, as you promised years ago. Both animals and your customers are counting on you to stop supporting this extreme animal cruelty!
