Maple Leaf Foods launched a formal Animal Care Commitment that articulates the principles, goals and actions the Company is taking to become a leader in animal care.
"As the largest meat protein company in Canada, we hold ourselves to a high standard of animal care," said Michael McCain, President and CEO. "This requires building a strong culture of animal wellbeing, advancing continuous improvement within Maple Leaf and across the industry, and holding ourselves accountable for performance and progress. We will provide the necessary organizational focus and resources, with a steadfast commitment to advancing the humane and science-based treatment of animals."
