SAN ANTONIO – H-E-B is joining the growing number of major U.S. grocery chains that are moving toward selling only cage-free eggs – eventually.
The San Antonio-based grocery chain quietly announced last week that it is working toward selling only cage-free eggs by 2025. It's following the lead of competitors such as Brookshire's, Kroger and Wal-Mart, which announced two weeks ago that it also plans to make the transition by 2025.
"H-E-B will continue to work closely with suppliers to move toward 100% cage-free eggs by 2025, provided we have adequate supply, sufficient consumer demand and pricing is affordable for our customers," the company said in a posting on its website Friday.
