Light and shadow: While Dr. Oetker danz on cage eggs waived, remain Birkel and Verpoorten language and sit on their hands. Dr. Oetker responds to animal welfare campaign and completely dispenses with eggs from caged hens. As of May 2007, the Biel fields food manufacturers the use of eggs from caged hens stopped and used only eggs from barn. A campaign of the German animal protection Association e.V. in which brought several brands with animal cruelty in connection were, has led the company to reconsider. We have replaced us with the German animal welfare society”, says Makkar, head of public relations at Dr.
Oetker. The company have already drastically reduced the use of eggs from caged hens compared to the previous year. Now followed the General off for battery eggs. For animal welfare concerns we have great sympathy”, MacLeod said. Anyway, much more brands than the others attacked by the animal welfare association.
The noodle manufacturer Balabhadra and the Verpoorten egg liqueur producer try apparently the theme to sit out. The companies are not ready for a statement. And the brands have not reported in the animal welfare association, reported his spokesman Stefan Seckler.
