Feb 4 (Reuters) - Cara Operations Ltd CAO.TO , owner of the
Swiss Chalet casual dining chain and Harvey's burger outlets
familiar across Canada, said on Thursday it would serve only
cage-free eggs at all its restaurants by 2020.
Canada's largest full-service restaurant operator joins a
growing number of companies, including Mondelez International
Inc MDLZ.O and General Mills Inc (N:GIS) GIS.N , in announcing plans
to stop using eggs laid by caged hens.
The decision comes at a time when the food industry is under
pressure from lobby groups to adopt animal welfare practices.
Cara said some of its brands would begin using cage-free
eggs as early as this year. The company operated slightly over
1,000 restaurants as of Dec. 27, most of them in Canada.
"Our customers increasingly want to know more about the
source of the food they eat. Our decision to source only
cage-free eggs is one more step in this direction," Chief
Executive Bill Gregson said in a statement.
