Trader Joe's plans to switch completely to cage-free eggs
On its website, Monrovia, Calif.-based Trader Joe's announced that it is planning to switch completely to cage-free eggs by 2025. The retailer initially made the move to change all of its store brand eggs to cage-free in 2005. Currently, 62 percent of all the eggs it sells are cage-free.
"As we continue to listen to our customers, and as the supply-side of the egg business evolves to keep pace with a growing cage-free preference, we have set the following goals: to have all the eggs we sell in western states (California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado) come from cage-free suppliers by 2020 and all the eggs we sell nationally to come from cage-free suppliers by 2025," the retailer said.
