Heinz joins no-crate campaign



And now it’s H.J. Heinz joining the parade of companies willing to say it won’t buy pork that comes from farms where sows are housed in gestation stalls.

Heinz has not set any deadlines for its initiative.

As usual, it wasn’t Heinz company that made the announcement, but the Humane Society of United States.

Many other companies have been pressured to insist that their pork suppliers outline their plans by 2017 to provide stall-free pork.
