Sweden leads the way: 100% cage-free eggs

Sweden has officially become a trailblazer in animal welfare! It is now the first country in the world where 100% of egg-laying hens live cage-free.

This groundbreaking achievement didn’t come from legislation, but from the power of consumer demand, forward-thinking retailers, and dedicated animal rights groups. Since 2008, more than 17 million hens have been freed from cages, setting a new global standard for compassionate farming.

Sweden’s success shows that when people demand better welfare for animals, real change happens. It’s proof that collective action—through our purchasing choices and voices—can transform industries and create a kinder world.

As more countries follow suit, we edge closer to a future where cages for hens are a thing of the past. And it all starts with us choosing ethical, plant-based options that protect animals, people, and the planet.
