Animal Welfare Position
Cargill Kitchen Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cargill, Incorporated, is a further processor of
egg products sold primarily to the foodservice industry. Our business philosophy is one of continuous improvement. The past several years have seen considerable changes and developments regarding agricultural practices in egg production. This has resulted in many scientific reviews of these practices and efforts to incorporate them into continuous improvement processes. While Cargill Kitchen Solutions does not own chickens, we are a leader in developing customer-based solutions to the issue of Animal Welfare in egg production. Today, animal welfare standards are not government mandated, but are voluntarily assumed by the egg industry. Cargill Kitchen Solutions has committed to elevating our leadership position in Animal Welfare by working with all of our dedicated egg-laying facilities to ensure that those eggs are produced at standards that meet or exceed the "United Egg Producers Animal Husbandry Guidelines for U.S. Egg Laying Flocks," 2006 Edition.
