As a result of the Coles animal welfare initiatives, 350,000 hens no longer deliver eggs in cramped cages and 34,000 pigs are no longer confined in cramped stalls for large parts of their lives.
Coles head of responsible sourcing and Quality Jackie Healing said the initiatives met a strong customer desire for better animal welfare. “Animal welfare issues continue to be one of the major concerns customers raise with us – they want to know that animals have been properly treated,” she said.
