Costco's animal welfare policy. How does this compare? Anything
demonstrably better?
POULTRY
- Costco requires animal welfare audits at slaughter in accordance with
the National Chicken Council (NCC) Recommended Animal Handling Guidelines.
- Costco also audits hatchery and grow‐out facilities.
- Costco implements animal welfare audits for laying hens.
- Audits can include American Humane, Certified Humane and UEP audits.
- Audits now extend in varying degrees to conventional cage,
cage‐free and organic housing systems
- Costco has introduced the Costco Hen House Audit in the U.S. This
audit tool promotes a sense of responsibility and accountability to the
supplier, and provides a means for annual barn evaluations.
- Suppliers are required to audit each house twice a year using the
Costco Hen House app platform. The results are automatically
transmitted to
Costco upon completion.
- The app-based system gives visual examples of how to score each
question as needed.
- The app requires the supplier to submit photo documentation for
each question along with the answer as applicable.
