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.
