Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (NYSE:KKD) today announced it is
transitioning to 100 percent cage-free eggs – a process it expects
to complete by 2026.
“Ensuring the eggs that we use all come from cage-free chickens
is the right thing for our company and our customers,” said Tom
Kuharcik, Senior Vice President, Global Supply Chain. “We look
forward to working with our suppliers as the industry continues to
add capacity to eventually use only cage-free eggs in our products
that require the use of eggs.”
The Humane Society of the United States applauded Krispy Kreme’s
commitment to transition to 100 percent cage-free eggs.
“We welcome Krispy Kreme’s commitment to improving animal

Policy Director for the Humane Society of the United States.
“Krispy Kreme shows once again that doing good can be an important
part of doing well.”
