Demand a Cage-Free Plan from Farm Boy

Behind the eggs on Farm Boy shelves are birds confined in filthy conditions, cramped in stacked wire cages, each with barely more space than a sheet of paper. While Farm Boy markets itself as a “farm-to-table” grocery chain—posing as a local, premium alternative to big-box supermarkets—most of the eggs on Farm Boy shelves come from industrial conditions at Burnbrae Farms.

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—the company that oversees animal welfare for Farm Boy and several major grocery chains owned by Empire Company—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 farmboyinvestigated.ca reveals just how bad it is.

Help hold Canada’s grocery giant accountable for its promise to get hens out of cages. Tell Farm Boy's leadership to publish a plan to go cage-free!
