Animal Welfare: Above and Beyond Industry Standards

The health of our laying hens is a top priority at Opal Foods. We utilize science-based best practices in animal husbandry, so that we can improve the health and quality of life of laying hens.

Animal welfare is central to our business, but it is also a foundational value of our company. We believe that good stewardship of resources includes humane and caring treatment of the animals in our care, so we go above and beyond requirements and standards to ensure that the chickens are well cared for as an integral component of our egg production operations.
