New footage reveals shocking cruelty inside a farm supplying SuperIndo, Ahold Delhaize's Indonesian banner.
Hens are trapped in tiny wire cages, unable to walk, spread their wings, or engage in natural behaviors. Dead hens are rotting amongst the living. Sick hens are neglected, forced to suffer in confinement, with no relief and no escape.
This isn't just happening in Indonesia. Ahold Delhaize has broken its decade-old promise to end the use of cages in its U.S. supply chain by 2025, pushing the deadline back to 2032, while millions of hens continue to suffer.
Battery cages are banned in multiple countries and U.S. states for a reason: they are inherently cruel.
It's time for Ahold Delhaize to stop profiting from animal cruelty — everywhere. Add your name to demand action.
Dear Frans Muller,
New footage from SuperIndo, Ahold Delhaize's Indonesian banner, reveals extreme suffering inside your supply chain: hens crammed in wire cages, dead and rotting birds left among the living, and visibly sick animals forced to endure without treatment.
This investigation underscores a wider problem — your company continues to break promises and delay progress on animal welfare. In 2016, Ahold Delhaize pledged to eliminate cages from its U.S. egg supply chain by 2025. That commitment has now been delayed to 2032, leaving millions more hens trapped in cruel, outdated conditions. And while your company claims to uphold animal welfare principles, the reality on the ground tells a different story.
Battery cages are so inhumane that their use is illegal in many parts of the world. Hens in these cages cannot walk freely, spread their wings, or engage in natural behaviors. They are denied the most basic freedoms — and they suffer.
As President and CEO, you have the power to change this.
End the use of battery cages in all Ahold Delhaize supply chains. Keep your word to consumers, investors, and animals. The suffering must stop — now.
Sincerely,
[Name]
