"In 2015, McDonald’s, one of the world’s largest and most iconic fast-food
chains, agreed to switch 100% of the eggs that it purchases to only cage-free
eggs in U.S. locations by 2025. This announcement followed a decades-long
global movement against the extreme confinement of farm animals that the Humane
Society of the United States helped spearhead, a movement that continues today.
We rejoiced when the company made this commitment, as it had the potential to
decrease the suffering of literally millions of hens every year. Having worked
closely with McDonald’s on its animal welfare commitments, we were heartened
this week by the company’s announcement that it had reached this goal early, at
the end of 2023.

The impact is nothing less than astronomical, as McDonald’s purchases nearly 2
billion eggs each year from agricultural supply chains for its U.S. locations."
