Cage-Free Outreach at Andronico's in Berkeley & Palo Alto This Week

[Guest guest]

Cage-Free Outreach at Andronico's in Berkeley & Palo Alto This Week

 

Andronico's Market, a high-end 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, East Bay Animal Advocates (EBAA) documented

conditions at Andronico's battery-cage egg supplier – NuCal Foods, Inc.

The shocking 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.

 

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, EBAA on a weekly-basis is distributing informative

literature to Andronico's shoppers. Event information for this week:

 

Thursday, June 29

Time: 6 PM

Location: Andronico's, 1850 Solano Avenue, Berkeley

 

Saturday, July 1

Time: 1 PM

Location: Andronico's, 500 Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto
