VICTORY: Lightlife Foods Commits to Using Fewer Eggs & Introduces More Vegan Options!

Lightlife Foods has been a leader in the vegetarian food market for nearly 30 years—and this maker of meatless foods just took another giant step forward, further setting itself apart!

Shortly after announcing our Morningstar Farms victory late last year, COK has been corresponding with Lightlife Foods about the growing demand for egg-free options. The company has been incredibly responsive, and we’re excited to share the following statement about its plans to reduce its use of eggs in 2009:

According to company spokeswoman Cathleen Strong, “Beginning January 1, 2009 Lightlife is reducing our use of eggs by 166,000 eggs annually!  Additionally, we are excited about introducing three new vegan items to the market place this spring.”

Please call Lightlife at 1-800-769-3279 to thank them for making this compassionate decision and to let them know you look forward to seeing more vegan items in 2009.  

Thank you for helping us achieve this important victory for hens! Your support for our work today is enabling us to create a more compassionate tomorrow.

Animal Suffering in the Egg Industry

More than 95% of eggs produced in the U.S. come from hens confined inside barren wire battery cages so restrictive, the birds can barely even move, let alone spread their wings, perch, or walk. Each battery-caged hen usually only has a meager 67 square inches of space in which to live—that’s less floor space than one sheet of notebook paper.
