What Other Companies are Doing
Many restaurant chains are already using cage-free eggs including Denny's, Burger King, Wendy's, Quiznos, Red Robin, Carl's Jr., and Hardee's. The largest foodservice companies in the country are all using cage-free eggs including Compass Group, ARAMARK, and Sodexo. All of the largest grocery store chains offer cage-free eggs -- even Wal-Mart and Costco have exclusive cage-free egg policies for their private label. Corporate and government institutions are using cage-free eggs in their dining operations including The House of Representatives, Senate, NASA, AOL, Google, Nike, National Institutes of Health, Microsoft, and many more. And over 400 universities across the country are using cage-free eggs.
With all of this movement in the corporate world on this important animal welfare issue, IHOP surprisingly still only uses eggs form hens confined in cruel and inhumane battery cages.
