Dining Services
Cage Free Eggs

In April 2007, UDS implemented cage free eggs in residential dining locations on the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities campus. Cage free eggs are produced from un-caged hens, raised in barns and other open environments. Greater availability of cage free eggs through existing purchasing relationships and growing trends in overall sustainability made purchasing cage free egg products more viable. Since implementation, University Dining Services has purchased 40,000 pounds of cage free eggs.
