7-Eleven aims to go cage-free with eggs by 2025

7-Eleven Inc., Irving, Texas, said it will work with its suppliers toward a goal of sourcing only cage-free eggs by 2025, based on available supply for all stores in the United States and Canada.

"7-Eleven cares about the treatment of animals, and switching to cage-free eggs demonstrates our concern," said Jesus Delgado-Jenkins, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer for 7-Eleven. "We believe that it is becoming important to our customers for us to serve more humanely-sourced eggs."
