The UK-based manufacturer has joined the growing number of big food producers – including Mondelez, Nestle, retailers Tesco and Aldi and foodservice operators Compass Group and Sodexo, among others – that have pledged to use 100% cage-free eggs across their global supply chains.
In its updated Environmentally Sustainable Sourcing fact sheet – published last week – Bakkavor Group has committed to source 100% cage-free eggs and egg products across its operations by 2027, and by 2025 in the UK, its largest market.
London-headquartered Bakkavor – one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fresh prepared food – operates 23 factories in the UK, five in the US and nine in China, with annual sales exceeding $2.2bn.
The producer develops white label goods such as on-the-go sandwiches, ready meals, salads, desserts and pizzas for retailers and foodservice operators in the UK, US and China.
