McDonald’s Canada used National Egg Day to celebrate the milestone the company now uses 100 per cent Canadian free-run eggs for its McMuffin, McGriddles and bagel sandwiches at its restaurants.
Hope Bentley, head of supply chain, said the company made the promise in 2015 and reached the goal one year ahead of schedule.
“Over 117 million Canada Grade A eggs are sourced per year for Canadian restaurants, so we want to make sure we’re using our scale for good,” Bentley said. “This is about animal welfare, supporting Canadian farmers, and the future of this country’s agriculture industry. Not to mention serving delicious, quality eggs.”
Bentley said to achieve the milestone, the company worked with their egg supplier Burnbrae Farms, alongside Canadian egg farmers, on the logistics of reaching the goal. Creating a supply of free-run eggs big enough to meet the demands of McDonald’s Canadian restaurants would not have been possible without their support.
