Take Action
Ahold Delhaize Profits from Animal Cruelty
Ahold Delhaize, the fourth-largest U.S. grocery retailer and parent company of brands like Hannaford, Food Lion, and Stop & Shop, promised to stop selling eggs from caged birds by 2025. Now, the company has boldly granted itself a shocking seven-year delay.
Board members like Katie Doyle, Laura Miller, and Julia Vander Ploeg had the power to ensure the grocery giant kept its word, but instead they looked the other way. To this day, countless birds remain trapped in tiny cages. Don’t let corporate indifference excuse animal cruelty. Demand action now.
Count me in! I’ll use my voice to urge Ahold Delhaize to ban cages in their egg supply chain once and for all.
Welfare scientists and other experts agree—chickens confined in cages suffer immensely.
Entire countries and U.S. states have enacted laws banning the use of cruel cages for hens.
Caged hens spend almost their entire lives on floor space smaller than a sheet of printer paper.
