7-Eleven egg burrito and breakfast sandwich, cage-free eggs
7-Eleven plans to source only cage-free eggs by 2025, based on available supply for all stores in the United States and Canada.

IRVING, TEXAS — 7-Eleven, Inc. is joining the cage-free egg movement. The company said it will work with its suppliers to source only cage-free eggs by 2025, based on available supply for all stores in the United States and Canada.

“7-Eleven cares about the treatment of animals, and switching to cage-free eggs demonstrates our concern,” said Jesus Delgado-Jenkins, executive vice-president and chief merchandising officer for 7-Eleven. “We believe that it is becoming important to our customers for us to serve more humanely-sourced eggs.”

The c-store joins the list of retailers making the switch, including most recently Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Aldi.
