Eggland's Best producers have adopted very stringent welfare regulations for both caged and floor-housed flocks. Space requirement in cages and in houses are adequate for normal function and behavior. All Eggland's Best production facilities are audited annually to ensure that flocks are healthy and have sufficient space, light, ventilation, water, and feed and are protected from injury. All Eggland's Best Egg producers are part of the United Egg Producers Animal Welfare program, which requires all participants to increase the amount of space allotted to each hen, whether caged or cage-free. Flocks are always handled and transported humanely.
