Special Alert: EBAA Launches New Consumer Campaign

[Guest guest]

Join East Bay Animal Advocates for the launch our new consumer

campaign this week!

 

Andronico's Market, a natural foods grocery chain in the San

Francisco Bay Area, plays an important role in promoting humane

business practices. As Andronico's vision articulates: “We

initiate and encourage change, taking responsibility for our

actions in pursuit of excellence.”

 

Although the company offers an array of free-range and cage-free

egg products, Andronico's still sells eggs from chickens confined

in battery cages.

 

Recently, EBAA documented conditions at Andronico's battery-

cage egg supplier – NuCal Foods, Inc. Our undercover footage

shows intensive confinement of chickens. The hens are housed in

wire enclosures so small that they are unable to lift even a

single wing.

 

In order to advance the company’s commitment to excellence, EBAA

is asking Andronico's to adopt a cage-free egg policy. Several

retailers, including Whole Foods Market and Wild Oats Natural

Marketplace, have already adopted policies to carry only cage-

free eggs.

 

On Friday, March 3, join EBAA for our campaign launch with an

'Andronico's Call-In'. Call (510) 559-2800 and urge the company

to adopt a cage-free egg policy. You can also reach Andronico's

by email at customerservice or snail mail at 1109

Washington Avenue, Albany, California 94706.

 

Starting Saturday, March 4, get involved in our ten-day outreach

series outside of all Andronico's stores.
