| Battery-cage, or cage-free? |
The structure of India's food industry is changing: The number of restaurant and supermarket chains is on the rise. Pressure is growing for the emerging food retail chains to publicly adopt and implement meaningful animal welfare standards as they develop their supply chains for meat, eggs, and dairy products. Working with their suppliers, supermarket chains in North America and Europe have already adopted animal welfare standards; now, HSI is reaching out to India's supermarkets and restaurants to ask them to do the same.
Restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, and other egg retailers can sign this pledge, promising to never to buy, sell, offer, or serve eggs from hens in battery cages or any products containing eggs from hens in battery cages. Consumers can sign this pledge not to eat or serve such eggs.
