Food Lion and Hannaford to sell 100% cage-free eggs by 2025

Food Lion and Hannaford stores will sell 100% cage-free eggs by 2025. The first step will be to transition private label shell eggs, which account for the majority of category sales.

“Delhaize America supports continuous improvement in animal welfare practices through its comprehensive approach to sustainability,” J.J. Fleeman, chief strategy and development officer at Delhaize America, said. “Today's cage-free egg announcement is another step we are taking to ensure the humane treatment of animals while also reinforcing a number of strong sustainability practices we have implemented across our organization.”

Other grocery retailers that made similar commitments are: Albertsons, Trader Joe’s, Target, ALDI, Bashas'.
