Burgerville to use cage-free chicken eggs

January 15, 2007

VANCOUVER, Wash. — Burgerville menu breakfast items will now feature eggs produced by cage free hens.
 
According to a news release, Burgerville will get the approximately 600,000 eggs it uses each year from Washington's Stiebrs Farms, whose chickens are certified "Humane Raised and Handled," fed a 100 percent vegetarian diet, and are free of hormones and
antibiotics.
 
The Holland Inc., which operates Burgerville restaurants, worked with The Humane Society of the United States to eliminate its use of eggs from hens confined in small, restrictive battery cages.
 
All of the hens producing eggs for Stiebrs Farms are free to run, groom, and socialize without restrictions. The chickens are raised in barns with no cages and are allowed to roam and nest.
