It seems like almost every month another food service provider
breaks with the news that they are going to be phasing out gestation stalls. I
havescoured searched a little bit on the internet for a succinct list of all these food companies but
haven’t been very successful. Then I thought to myself, “Self, I bet there are
other people who would like to know this information – you should find and
combine all of this for the folks on the internet to find.” So here is my list.
I may not have found all of them but if you know of one I have missed, please
let me know and I’ll keep the list updated!

Not only have these food service companies decided to
phase out gestation stalls, there are nine states – Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, Oregon and Rhode Island – who have already passed laws to ban the use of gestation crates from pork supply chain practices.
Unfortunately,
I don’t see this pattern of phasing out gestation crates ending anytime soon. So, until the next company issues a press release here is the list. Again, please let me know if I missed any.
Until next time,
