ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISES LTD. HATCHES PLAN FOR CAGE-FREE EGGS
MIAMI, December 3, 2015 – Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. will provide guests with cage-free eggs over the coming years. The cruise company is committing to 100 percent cage-free eggs by 2022, building on an initiative that first introduced cage-free eggs into its supply chain in 2010.
“By
moving to 100 percent cage-free eggs we are not only delivering quality
food, but acting responsibly when it comes to the welfare of animals in
the food system,” said Mike Jones, Vice President, Supply Chain, Royal
Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
In
recent years the cruise company has undertaken significant efforts to
provide sustainably sourced food for guests including sourcing pork from
gestation crate free suppliers. As a result the company also is committing to sourcing all of its pork from gestation-free crates by 2022.
Jones said, “Royal Caribbean supports
the continual movement of the food service industry in this direction,
and remains committed to keeping the treatment of animals in
consideration when supplying its fleet with food.”
