Wendy’s Seeking More Meat From Humane Suppliers
Wendy’s announces that it will give preferential treatment to pig and chicken product suppliers who improve their animal welfare standards.
Wendy’s currently obtains 10% of its pig products from suppliers who raise pigs outside of gestation stalls, but the company hopes to raise this to 20% by the year 2008.
Wendy’s also will be giving preferential treatment to chicken suppliers who explore and test “controlled atmosphere stunning” (CAS) systems, where chickens receive a gas/oxygen mix to anesthetize them before stunning.
