Making good on its 10-year pledge to source 100 percent cage-free eggs by 2025&mdash;which would be more than 2.2 billion eggs&mdash;McDonald&rsquo;s announced today that it is 33 percent of the way there, according to <a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/makes-progress-toward-100-percent-cage-free-eggs?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mcdonalds-makes-strides-toward-promise-of-only-using-cage-free-eggs-by-2025-2709687" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">QSR Magazine</a>. 

Farms that supply eggs to McDonald&rsquo;s have incorporated a variety of solutions to address this commitment, including significant investments of time, finances and technology. QSR indicates that farmers have built new barns or incorporated infrastructure updates like remote-controlled lighting and temperature regulation. For its part, the fast-food giant reportedly hosts an annual &ldquo;Cage-Free Egg Summit&rdquo; for suppliers to discuss best practices and solutions in an open forum.

&ldquo;As McDonald&rsquo;s USA&rsquo;s egg supplier, the commitment they made to source 100 percent cage-free eggs represented a shift not only for our business with them, but for the industry, given their position as a leader,&rdquo; the article quotes Norm Stocker, Vice President of Food Service&mdash;Poultry at Cargill. &ldquo;Consumer preferences are changing and people are increasingly interested in how their food is sourced. McDonald&rsquo;s has led the way, with a thoughtful and measured approach to switching to cage-free eggs to meet consumer demand at a massive size and scale.&rdquo;
