Trader Joe's to Stop Selling Caged Eggs
The Humane Society is declaring victory in a campaign to get Trader Joe's to stop selling eggs from caged chickens.

"While Trader Joe's did stop short of adopting a total cage-free egg policy, the company proved to us that it is serious about improving the lives of laying hens," said The HSUS's Pacelle. "We understand that sometimes change happens a step at a time, and we applaud Trader Joe's for making this strong move."

Interesting tidbit about the huge volume of products that Trader Joe's moves: "Presently, the company sells more than 100 million Trader Joe's brand battery cage eggs per year, meaning that the company's new policy could benefit an estimated 380,000 birds."
