Ahold Delhaize USA, the parent company of Stop & Shop, has provided an update on its commitment to animal welfare, specifically concerning egg production. The company has established year-by-year plans to reach its goal of 70% cage-free egg unit sales by the year 2030.
Ahold Delhaize USA has also announced a full conversion to cage-free egg supply by 2032. As part of this initiative, stores will implement clearer shelf labeling to identify cage-free eggs, with these tags expected to be in place by the end of 2026. This move aligns with the company's broader objective to transition its supply chain away from cage confinement.
Furthermore, the company is making progress on housing conditions for pigs, aiming for all fresh, single-ingredient, and whole muscle pork to be group-housed by 2028. These developments signify a sustained effort toward improving animal welfare across Ahold Delhaize USA's brands.
