Grill’d partners with RSPCA to ‘say no’ to battery cage eggs
Burger chain Grill’d has partnered with the RSPCA to raise awareness about the use of battery cage eggs in food services across Australia.
The campaign asks Australians to sign a petition against the use of battery eggs which will also put them into a draw to win an overnight stay at the restaurant Brae.
Can see straight through this one – however not bad to turn around a new campaign in a couple of months after their Easter Bunny burger farce
For transparency, I’d like to know whether Grill’d’s Chicken (not just egg) supplier also has cagged hens or is owned by a conglomerate that owns cagged hens farms.
It’s one thing to call on consumers, it’s another thing to call out the supply chain where these caged hens and eggs are. Which I suspect Grill’d probably doesn’t want to do for a reason.
Hey there,
At Grill’d, for our meat chickens, we only use chicken breasts from RSPCA approved chickens from Australian family owned primary producers. There’s currently no nationally consistent or legally enforceable definition of ‘free range’ for meat chickens.
As long as this is the case, and as long as there remains no independent certification against standards that aim to improve animal welfare, ‘free range’ remains primarily a marketing term that cannot be relied upon as a guarantee of good welfare. In reality, good animal welfare relies upon a combination of factors, including good stockmanship and management, appropriate housing, and the ability to meet the animal’s behavioural needs – all of which are part of the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme Standards.
Hope that helps.
More ethical eggs doesn’t translate to more ethical burgers it seems. Grill’d suggests ‘not deep fried’ or ‘not bathed in fat’. In reality it means one burger is 1/3+ of your daily energy intake.

Aren’t these the same jerks who released rabbit burgers for Easter? Pfft.
