The company has pledged to transition its US supply chain to 100% cage-free eggs by 2017 and only purchase pork from suppliers that can demonstrate documented plans to end their use of gestation crates for breeding pigs.
Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the US, said: “Burger King Corp has demonstrated when it comes to America’s largest fast food chains, it continues to set the standard.
“These changes by Burger King Corp will improve life for countless farm animals and encourage other companies to abide by animal welfare principles up and down their supply chain.”
