項駭人聽聞的調查顯示牛奶國際(現為DFI零售集團)的雞蛋供應鏈存在汙染和食品安全風險。
您有在惠康或者Market Place by Jasons購物的習慣嗎?一項調查顯示,牛奶國際(現為DFI零售集團)旗下的惠康和Market Place by Jasons出售的雞蛋來自於骯臟的叠層雞籠,具有極高的食品安全風險。
經過對牛奶國際(現為DFI零售集團)的雞蛋供應商進行調查發現,雞舍產蛋欄上堆積著糞便和汙垢結塊,離雞蛋和雞僅咫尺之遙。母雞的一生都被關在叠層雞籠裏。這種籠子又小又殘忍,在世界上大多數國家都是非法的。除此之外,野生禽鳥在農場來去自由,造成了禽流感傳播的嚴重風險。
幾乎所有的亞洲大型跨國食品零售商都承諾只銷售能夠自由出籠的雞產的蛋,包括City Super、Tesco、METRO、Aldi和家樂福。但牛奶國際不同,它一直對外出售的是來自骯臟、殘忍的叠層雞籠的雞蛋。
必須讓牛奶國際(現為DFI零售集團)停止這種行為,這不僅無視食品安全對消費者造成的身體危害,還存在嚴重的虐待動物罪。牛奶國際必須符合行業標準,承諾只銷售能夠自由出籠的雞產的雞蛋。
牛奶国际 (現為DFI零售集團):在您跟進同業的做法停止供應骯髒、不人道的籠養雞蛋之前,我將不會在您旗下的惠康超市和Market Place by Jasons消費。請求牛奶公司轉型支持100%非籠飼雞蛋!
數十份食品安全科學研究一致發現籠飼蛋場感染沙門氏菌明顯較高。歐洲食品安全局(European Food Safety Authority)在針對此議題進行有史以來最大規模的研究,分析來自5000座牧場的資料,發現籠飼農場感染沙門氏菌的可能性比起放養農場高出25倍。 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17).
將母雞限制在籠子中會增加食品安全風險的原因很多,美國農業部表示將母雞終身關在籠子所產生的壓力,使其更容易患病,且籠子特別難以清潔和消毒,導致籠子上有「大量糞便和灰塵的污染」 (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
就像狗和貓一樣,雞是聰明的,是個會感到快樂和痛苦的聰明個體,限制動物一生在狹小幾乎無法轉身的空間是錯誤的。(24)
籠飼系統對動物太殘忍以至於數十個國家是禁止使用的,世界上每一個主流動物保護組織都譴責將產蛋母雞限制在籠子裡是殘忍且不人道的。(25, 26, 27)
這裡有幾個組織的說法:
「在這類籠養蛋場的【格子籠】裡,蛋雞連伸展翅膀或飛上枝頭棲息這些最簡單的自然行為都無法進行。愛護動物協會深切關注這數以百萬計蛋雞的福利。」
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,也剝奪了蛋雞洗沙浴、築巢的權利。飲食業應開始選用人道的放養雞蛋,讓台灣能夠盡快地跟上國際社會的步伐,確保動物福利。」
台灣防止虐待動物協會
「格子笼饲养蛋鸡极不人道,不仅饲养密度高,也剥夺蛋鸡洗沙浴、筑巢。。。饮食产业也应开始选用友善鸡蛋,让台湾能够尽快地跟上国际脚步,确保动物福利。 」
