Costco (COST) has been under fire for months by animal rights groups for not being completely cage-free like they promised back in 2007. But Costco Vice President Craig Wilson tells FOXBusiness.com they sold a record amount of cage-free eggs this year despite the criticism.
“In 2015, we sold 2.9 billion eggs and 763 million of them were cage-free. That’s 26% of our total sales,” he says. “When you look at those numbers you can see where Costco is and look at the progress we have made.”
Wilson says in 2006, Costco sold about 1.6 billion eggs and only 34 million of them were cage-free.
