The Humane Society of the United States has announced that Denny’s has agreed to “work with its suppliers” to eliminate from its supply chain any pork from pigs kept in gestation crates.
“Denny’s takes its role as a responsible corporate citizen seriously, which is why we have adopted a strong position on animal welfare,” HSUS quotes Greg Linford, Denny’s vice president, procurement and distribution, as saying in a news release. “We will endeavor to purchase products from companies that provide gestation crate-free pork and are committed to influencing our suppliers to share in a gestation crate-free vision for the future.”
HSUS noted that it has worked with Denny’s for more than five years on animal welfare issues.
