We are happy to share that Nuu Alimentos, a baked-goods manufacturer, has committed and already completed its transition to cage-free egg sourcing. You can see their commitment here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DDhx7iqOIYP/?igsh=MTl1NDIxNGVscGZvdA%3D%3D&img_index=1

Scale: We estimate this commitment impacts over 23 thousand hens.

Timeline: 3 years.

Who: Animal Equality, Fórum Animal and Humane Society International.

Unsuccessful Tactics: None.

Successful Tactics: The company has a strong focus on ESG, with policies that include commitments towards carbon emissions and gender equality. Tying the welfare of laying hens to ESG and sustainable development goals was key to engaging Nuu Alimentos’ leadership in the cage-free movement and taking the commitment further. The company decided to go cage-free in 2023 and fully implemented in March 2024, celebrating the transition on the December 2024 publication.  

Follow Up: We will encourage Nuu Alimentos to share its success story with other companies on the journey to a cage-free supply chain and continue to engage on welfare standards for the other animal products used as well.

Hello FAST members   Two months ago we submitted to the Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria  (Senasa), an agency attached to the  Ministerio de Desarrollo Agrario y Riego  (Midagri), a regulatory proposal aimed at incorporating specific provisions of Animal welfare in the land transport of farm animals. Currently, national legislation only addresses health and hygiene requirements, without establishing criteria to guarantee minimum welfare conditions during transport. This regulatory gap has negative consequences, as it increases animal suffering and the incidence of injuries and mortality, particularly in situations of stress or accidents during transport. Our proposal seeks to align Peruvian regulations with the regional and international standardsIn this sense, we highlight the positive openness of Midagri and Senasa to evaluate the initiative and the relevance of the interest expressed by the Comunidad Andina, which has been promoting regulatory harmonization in this area among member countries.  In this regard, we have already held a meeting with the group of lawyers from both institutions, as well as with the Andean Community, advancing discussions toward the creation of a joint guide to animal welfare in the Peruvian land transportation system. We trust that the incorporation of animal welfare criteria in transport will represent a significant advance in both animal protection and welfare in the country. Great day, Iselda Livoni Arba Peru
