Detailed Information:
In 2002, in an attempt to improve public relations and avert potential government regulation, the U.S. egg industry created the “Animal Care Certified” program. Member producers now label egg cartons with an “Animal Care Certified” logo, duping consumers into believing the eggs come from humanely treated hens when, in fact, the birds are still overcrowded in barren wire cages without any opportunity to nest, roost, dustbathe, or even flap their wings.
