Good news!!! The Cabinet Office is cage free!

On 2021/8/10, we learned that the Cabinet Office had adopted cage-free. Eggs procured in the Cabinet Office cafeteria will only be cage-free or free-range going forward, and cage rearing will not be used.

This wonderful achievement was promoted by both the Cabinet Office and the cafeteria operator Nikkoku Trust, and will be highly regarded in Japan as a progressive and ambitious decision. In fact, eggs used from August 10 have already been switched to cage-free!

A few years before the launch of plant-based products in Japan became a boom, the Cabinet Office introduced vegan food in the cafeteria and continues to do so. This wave spread not only to the Cabinet Office, but also to the cafeteria of the building containing the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. About two years ago, the companies began selling plant-based products (if not perfect), and now plant-based meats are lined up in supermarket meat corners. The Cabinet Office may have pioneered this trend.

The next thing the Cabinet Office launched was cage-free, animal welfare. It may be foreseeing the future of Japan. Let’s look forward to the companies and administrations that make admirable decisions to follow the Cabinet Office!!!
