On January 15th, Compassion in World Farming USA released its new EggTrack 2024: U.S. & Canada report. Similar to previous global EggTrack reports, this iteration is a regional spotlight on the United States and Canada, along with global cage-free egg progress, if applicable. By focusing on these two regions, our report broadened its scope to even more companies than previously recorded.
This year, 174 companies were included in our reporting table - spanning over 260 cage-free commitments. In addition to reporting company progress, EggTrack 2024: U.S. and Canada also includes:
- Detailed information on welfare issues for laying hens raised in battery cages and "enriched" colony cages.
- A legislative overview on the cage-free movement in both the US and Canada. This includes federal programs that impact cage-free transition on a state level.
- A feature on Handsome Brook Farms: a U.S. producer showcasing how higher-welfare farming and regenerative farming practices can simultaneously improve communities, the soil, and the animals.
- A certification matrix comparing third-party welfare labels in these two countries.
With hundreds of 2025 commitments looming, CIWF is excited to continue our focus on companies implementing their cage-free commitments in future report iterations. Thank you to everyone in this space who continue advocating for improved living standards for laying hens.
