UEP Welfare Seal: Phony "Animal Care Certified."

 

The U.S. egg industry's trade group United Egg Producers (UEP) has

developed a false "welfare seal" for egg cartons. Under UEP's new

"Animal Care Certified" Seal, hens may still be:

 

· Warehoused in filthy stacks of barren cages.

· Force molted by food deprivation for 2-3 weeks.

· Debeaked with painful guillotine blades.

· Suffocated to death at rendering plants and in landfills.

 

What Can I Do?

· Please replace eggs with vegan products. All products with egg

ingredients come from battery-caged hens. Egg whites instead of whole

eggs actually double the number of eggs that are used, increasing the

number of hens rotting in cages.

 

· Please urge baking companies to include vegan alternatives to eggs

in their package instructions and recipes. For example, 2 Tbsp to ¼ cup

of applesauce, apple butter, or other fruit purees can substitute for 1

egg. Other options are 1 mashed banana for 1 egg; 2 Tbsp soft tofu,

potato starch, or cornstarch for 1 egg; a little extra yeast or baking

soda for lightness; a little extra vegetable oil for moisture.

 

In most cases, you can make your suggestions on the company's website.

Always politely request a reply.
