McDonald's cage-free egg pledge stings US farmers
Move will also increase competition for an already limited supply of such eggs
Winnipeg
THIS month's pledge by McDonald's Corp to phase out eggs laid by caged hens in its North American restaurants will increase competition for limited supplies of cage-free eggs.
The ban, which follows similar moves by Burger King Corp and food services company Sodexo SA, carries higher costs that may, at least initially, sting farmers.
