Conagra Brands Inc. has announced it will take steps to implement higher standards for the treatment of broiler chickens in its supply chain sourcing practices. The company collaborated with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) on the new goals, which are an expansion to Conagra's existing broiler chicken policy.
"Conagra Brands is committed to the humane treatment of animals and our belief is that creating quality food for our consumers is more than just putting ingredients together, it also includes how we source those ingredients," said Dave Biegger, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Conagra Brands. "We're proud to work with the Humane Society of the United States as well as others in the food industry to take meaningful steps towards positive change in broiler chicken welfare practices."
