Upcoming Andronico's Cage-Free Outreach in Walnut Creek & Danville

[Guest guest]

Cage-Free Outreach at Andronico's

 

Andronico's Market sells “battery eggs” – eggs from hens who are

confined indoors within battery cages, with as many as eight hens per

cage. Recently, East Bay Animal Advocates documented shocking

conditions at the egg supplier for Andronico's - NuCal Foods, Inc. The

undercover footage (available at http://www.cal-eggs.com) shows

intensive confinement of chickens. 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.

 

In an effort to raise the public’s awareness about the inhumane

treatment of hens raised for eggs, East Bay Animal Advocates on a

weekly-basis is distributing informative literature to Andronico's

shoppers. Event information for this week and next:

 

May 20

Time: Noon

Location: Andronico's, 1181 Locust Street, Walnut Creek

 

May 22

Time: 6 PM

Location: Andronico's, 345 Railroad Avenue, Danville
