Ohio Food Maker Schwan To Switch To Cage-Free Eggs By 2020

The Schwan Food Company, maker of Freschetta and Red Baron frozen pizzas, said it will transition to 100 percent cage-free eggs by the end of 2020. The move will include all foods containing eggs sold by subsidiaries Schwan’s Home Service, Inc., Schwan’s Consumer Brands, Inc. and Schwan’s Food Service, Inc. The Ohio-based company consulted with animal-welfare experts and its suppliers about the future cage-free egg supply. It said its plans will depend on the availability of certified cage-free eggs.
