Focus Brands Cruelty

Is Focus Brands failing to focus on the animal cruelty in its supply chain?

In 2021, Focus Brands—which oversees Auntie Anne’s, Carvel, Cinnabon, Jamba, McAlister’s Deli, Moe’s Southwest Grill, and Schlotzsky’s—promised its guests that it would put an end to the horrific animal cruelty in its supply chain by releasing a global cage-free egg policy. But now, Focus Brands is refusing to tell its customers what progress—if any—it’s made globally on this commitment in all regions.

Hens trapped in cages have no space to move or engage in any natural behaviors. They are forced to live, breathe, and lay eggs for human consumption amongst feces and rotting bodies. For hens in cages, it’s hell on earth. Customers have been misled and have a right to know what their hard-earned money is paying for.

On its website, Focus Brands claims to “hold ourselves and each other accountable for the results we deliver.” If this is true, Focus Brands needs to not only show accountability for the promise it made but actually deliver results on its policy.

It’s time for Focus Brands to show that it hasn’t failed on animal cruelty by publishing its progress and plans to go 100% cage-free globally now!
