Of hens raised for eggs worldwide, 84% spend their lives confined in tiny and painful wire cages.
Over a hundred companies around the world have pledged to stop buying eggs from suppliers that force hens into cruel cages.
While many of these companies are sharing their progress on their cage-free pledges, some companies have not yet disclosed whether they are fulfilling their pledges globally.
Committing to banning cages is a great step for animal welfare as long as companies follow through on their word. Companies eligible for the Least Trusted by Animal Lovers Awards are ones that have not shared their global cage-free egg progress with the public.

The public deserves to know that large food corporations are taking the necessary actions to fulfill their promises to ban cages in their global egg supply chains.
But Dunkin’, McCormick, and Best Western have remained silent by not publishing the percentage of global progress they have made toward their cage-free goals.
You may be wondering about KFC, Elior, Meliá Hotels, and Louvre Hotels. Although they did not get the most votes, we can still call on them to be transparent with the public.
Invite more friends to take action, and call on the least trusted companies to be more transparent.
We closed voting on May 31 at 2 p.m. (Central time). The Least Trusted by Animal Lovers Awards winners will be awarded a series of public actions urging them to show their progress (or lack thereof) on animal welfare.
The Least Trusted by Animal Lovers Awards are based on voters’ opinions about the companies included in this campaign.
Elior, Inspire Brands, Louvre Hotels, and McCormick did not promise to report progress. But they have reported progress partially, and we hope they share the percentage of global progress they have made.
Best Western promised to report progress annually from the time it made a cage-free commitment in 2019, but the company has not reported any progress.
Yum! Brands and Meliá promised to report progress on their cage-free commitments but have done so only for part of their operations. We hope that the companies share their percentage of global progress.
Costa Coffee has published its intention to report on its global cage-free progress by the end of 2023. Thank you, Costa Coffee!
