Poultry processor Perdue Foods says it is taking steps to renew a focus on animal welfare, announcing the Perdue Commitments to Animal Care. The new four-part plan sets future goals for the company while instituting third-party audits and mandating an annual report announcing the progress made towards specific initiatives.
Perdue Chairman Jim Perdue says the plan will accelerate the company’s progress in animal care, strengthen relationships with farmers, build trust with multiple stakeholder groups and create an animal care culture for continued improvement.
