Arby’s has joined the growing list of foodservice and retailer calling for the eventual end of gestation stall use as a form of sow housing in response to a campaign against the practice orchestrated by the Humane Society of the United States.
“Arby’s is committed to only working with suppliers who have policies in place to work towards the elimination of gestation crates on sow farms,” Arby’s states on its website. “We believe there are more humane and sustainable alternatives to gestation crates and are actively collaborating with our suppliers to implement solutions that align with our company’s commitment to animal welfare.”
Arby’s is the second largest quick-service sandwich chain in the United States with more than 3,500 restaurants.
