The article in Gambero Rosso
In April an article was published on this website announcing the decision of Arcos Dorados, the largest operator of McDonald’s restaurants in Latin America and the Caribbean, that it will require its pork suppliers to submit documented plans within two years to limit the use of sow stalls (also known in America as gestation crates for sows) with plans for alternative group housing.
In September, a short article I wrote on Arcos Dorados’ announcement was published in Italian food magazine Gambero Rosso (available in Italian only).
By the end of 2016, all pork procured by Arcos Dorados will be sourced by producers that can demonstrate that they have documented plans to promote group housing for their sows.
