Discontinuing cage eggs in supermarkets

The issue

Chickens are kept in horrible states and living conditions such as complete darkness, tight metal cages and no source of freedom, sunlight, exercise etc. It is such a disgusting and detrimental process just to receive eggs that we use to eat. Free range eggs have been a new and better way of sourcing eggs as the chickens get free range, sunlight, exercise and socialisation. All egg industries should follow that protocol. Just because the animal can’t talk, does not mean it has no feelings.

Woolworths
Responded
We noticed that Woolworths is listed as a decision-maker in this petition to remove caged eggs from supermarkets. We would like to let you know about the steps we’re taking to remove caged eggs from our stores. Since 2015, 100% of our Woolworths branded fresh eggs have been cage-free. We will continue to work with our suppliers to phase out all caged eggs from all other brands by 2025. We’re also committed to only using cage-free eggs as an ingredient in all of our Own Brand products by 2025.
