Repaco, Inc.  Self-sufficient in cage-free eggs, a pastry chef’s specialty!

Repaco Ltd., which operates 14 stores in Fukushima Prefecture and other areas in Tohoku has committed to cage-free, showing consideration for the animal welfare of their egg-laying hens.

Repaco Co., Ltd. started producing its own cage-free eggs in 2021. The eggs from hens raised on homemade fruit yeast feed are sold under the name “Fruit Eggs”.

The person in charge of Fruits & Eggs has already known that

    Many poultry farms in Japan raise their hens in windowless house. And in order to improve the egg production rate, brightness is artificially controlled, and the hens are confined to cages in which they cannot move freely.

He says

“A pastry chef who values quality ingredients personally developed eggs that met their own standards. ‘Fruit Eggs’ are used in all of Repaco’s pastries.

We thought about what makes a good egg and what makes a good chicken, and we decided to raise hens in a cage-free environment. We believe it is very important that laying hens are healthy and stress-free.”

After serious consideration of the eggs, Repaco has decided to raise hens with a strong commitment to hens on cage-free farm.

Their commitment to animal welfare is very natural and unwavering.

We would like to thank Repaco Corporation, which uses cage-free eggs in all of their products.

What is the problem with egg-laying chicken keeping in Japan?

More than 90% of egg-laying hens in Japan are cage-raised, living 24 hours a day, 365 days a year as egg-laying machines crammed into cages that are immobile, with each bird occupying an area the size of an iPad, a space smaller than one’s own body. The difference between this and cage-free poultry farming is obvious. This is so inhumane that demand for cage-free eggs has grown overseas, and the cruel practice of cage-raising is being phased out one by one.

Choose products without caged eggs!

Recently, more and more companies are choosing to stop the inhumane method of cage-raising, and a variety of products are now being sold that use barn-laid or free-range eggs.

In addition to choosing cage-free or pastured eggs when buying eggs, please choose products without caged-eggs.
