CRACKER BARREL STORES WEIGHS IN ON SWINE GESTATION STALLS
Jun. 15, 2012
BrownfieldAgNews reports:
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store is the latest in restaurant chains to announce it will begin formulating plans to purchase pork from suppliers that do not use gestation stalls.
Vance Fouraker, Cracker Barrel's vice-president of strategic sourcing says, "We're seeing an evolution in Americans' awareness and attitudes regarding meat produced with higher animal welfare in mind."
He adds "We recognize that gestation crates may not be the best method to meet higher animal welfare goals and are committed to evolving to sustainable alternatives."
Cracker Barrel joins six other food companies that have announced moves toward gestation stall free supply chains.
