食品安全风险和虐待动物
一个令人震惊的调查暴露了牛奶国际在鸡蛋供应链中的污秽和食品安全风险
您在新加坡的Giant或Cold Storage购物吗？如果是这样，您可能要再考虑一下。一项令人震惊的新调查发现，Cold Storage和Giant的经营者，即是牛奶国际，想要隐藏的东西：该公司继续向客户出售来自肮脏，残酷的电池笼蛋农场的鸡蛋，这些鸡蛋具有更高的食品安全风险。
一项新的牛奶国际调查发现，该公司的新加坡鸡蛋供应商的环境恶劣，灰尘满布在产卵的笼子栏杆上，母鸡几乎一生都被挤满在电池笼当中，电池笼很小又残酷，在世界上许多其他国家都是非法的。死去的母鸡的尸体被留在垃圾箱中分解，工作人员只粗略地处理禽类而不关心它们的福利。
许多领先的零售商已承诺在亚洲仅出售非笼养鸡蛋，包括METRO、特易购、ALDI、家乐福等，但却不包括Giant或Cold Storage。牛奶国际却继续向客户出售来自肮脏、残酷的电池笼鸡蛋场的鸡蛋。
牛奶国际应该停止将客户安全置于危险之中，并停止支持这种严重的虐待动物行为。现在是牛奶国际赶上同行的时候，它们应致力于在新加坡和整个亚洲过渡到仅出售非笼养鸡蛋。
请在请愿书上签名！
牛奶国际：在您赶上其他领先的食品公司，并承诺停止使用肮脏残酷的电池笼的鸡蛋之前，我不会在您的任何商店（包括Giant和Cold Storage）购物。现在是牛奶国际承诺100％不用笼养鸡蛋的时候了！
笼养鸡蛋的食物安全风险
多过十项科学研究发现，笼养鸡蛋农场的沙门氏菌污染率，相对而然高很多。欧洲食品安全局对此问题进行了有史以来最大规模的研究，分析了五千个农场的数据。研究发现，笼养鸡蛋农场被关键沙门氏菌污染的可能性，高达25倍。(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
有很多原因令笼子里的母鸡会引起食品安全风险。美国农业部的研究表明，母鸡在笼子里所承受的压力，会使其更容易患病。而且笼子也很难清洗和消毒，从而导致“大量受污染的粪便和灰尘”。(18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
笼养鸡蛋是残酷的
就像狗和猫一样，鸡是聪明，聪明的動物会感到愉悦和痛苦。因此，将动物几乎一生都装在笼子里，以至于她几乎无法转身，这完全是错误的。(24)
电池笼是如此残酷，以至于全球数十个国家都禁止使用电池笼。 世界各地的每个主流动物保护组织都谴责电池笼残忍和不人道。(25, 26, 27)
以下是一些组织所说的话：
「在這類雞場中【格子籠】，即使是拍翼或飛上枝頭棲息等最簡單的自然行為，雞隻也沒有可做的自由。。。愛護動物協會深切關注這數以百萬計雞隻的福利」香港愛護動物協會
「格子籠飼養蛋雞極不人道，不僅飼養密度高，也剝奪蛋雞洗沙浴、築巢。。。飲食產業也應開始選用友善雞蛋，讓台灣能夠盡快地跟上國際腳步，確保動物福利。」台灣防止虐待動物協會
