Hannaford’s Unethical Practices
Hannaford promised to sell only cage-free eggs by 2025 but has now shamelessly pushed their deadline to 2032, prolonging the suffering of birds in their supply chain.
Despite projecting a values-driven image, the company continues to benefit from caged animals, misleading customers who expect more ethical practices. Shoppers and animals shouldn’t bear the cost of Hannaford’s greed and broken ethics.

Ahold Delaize, owner of Hannafords, Stop and Shop, Giant Food and Food Lion, has publicly agreed to set goals to stop selling eggs from caged hens and have its actions monitored. Ahold Delhaize has promised that by the end of the third quater of 2026 it will reduce its sales of eggs from caged hens by 30%. In 2028 it will reduct the amount of eggs sold from caged hens by 60%, 75% by 2030, and none by 2032. In the meantime caged free eggs will be clearly marked by the end of this year.
