Egg Industry in Transition? 3.3 Million Hens Now Cage-Free

A recent report from the Open Wing Alliance has shown that over 3.3 million hens are now cage-free, representing a significant shift in the egg industry. Major corporations around the world, including Viking Cruises and Conagra Brands, have fulfilled their pledges to transition to cage-free egg production, impacting the well-being of millions of hens.

The report highlights the growing trend of companies moving away from the use of cages in egg production, with nearly twice as many commitment deadlines set for 2025 as in previous years. Consumers are increasingly demanding transparency and proof of progress from corporations, signaling a seismic shift in the industry towards more humane practices and better animal welfare standards.
