Burger King Using Free Range Food Animals by 2017

Burger King (NYSE:BKC) made a announcement today saying that all of its eggs and pork will come from cage-free chickens and pigs by 2017.This could cause a huge shift in the humanely raised food animals market because of the sheer volume Burger King uses of eggs and pork each year. Currently, the burger chain is already on its way, having 9% of its eggs and 20% of its pork cage-free. This is part of a string of announcements and changes Burger King has made over this past year. To compete with McDonald’s and Wendy’s, the burger chain has revamped its menu and its redesigning many of its stores.
