Every year, over 80% of the eggs Sobeys sells to Canadian consumers still come from caged hens. Birds are confined in filthy conditions, cramped in stacked wire cages, each with barely more space than a sheet of paper.
Compassionate Canadians, leading animal protection groups, and investors in the food sector have been pushing for a ban on cruel cage practices for over a decade. Back in 2016, Sobeys committed to selling 100% cage-free eggs by 2025.
Today, the company that was once a leader on animal welfare, has fallen behind. Newly released undercover footage at sobeysinvestigated.ca revealed just how bad it is, but the company has yet to publish a plan to make cage-free progress.
