| UMKC now serves cage-free eggs only! |
UMKC Dining Services is now proud to serve only cage-free eggs across campus.
Dining Services is committed to listening and responding to our student customers.
Why are we going "cage-free"?
- General input from members of the UMKC Community
- An SGA Resolution passed in Spring of 2007 requesting cage-free only eggs
- Support for this transition from the UMKC Student Board of Governors
- Sodexo's commitment to social responsibility and responsive management
We are committed to a socially responsible dining program.
DID YOU KNOW…
Most egg-laying hens in the United States are confined in wire battery cages so small they can't even spread their wings. Suspended over their own waste, the hens are unable to engage in many of their natural behaviors, including nesting, dust bathing, perching, and foraging, let alone roaming, walking comfortably, or even feeling the earth under their feet. Overcrowded in tiny barren cages, these birds endure lives of daily frustration and suffering.
We are proud of our decision to exclusively use eggs from cage-free hens, and we're thrilled to be honored by the Humane Society of the United States for this decision.
