According to the company’s new “Protein Preferences: The Egg Came First” report, more than 4 in 10 Americans say they are more focused on protein than they were five years ago, signaling a sustained evolution in eating habits.
This deal joins together two leading premium egg companies, combining complementary offerings across the Free-Range, Pasture-Raised, and Organic segments.
Pete & Gerry's, LLC, the parent company of Pete & Gerry's and Nellie's Free Range Eggs, was the first Certified Humane egg producer in the U.S., and in 2013, became the first egg producer in the world to achieve Certified B Corporation status.
Introduced last year to the Pete & Gerry’s portfolio, Pete & Gerry’s Pasture-Raised Eggs are laid by hens raised to Certified Humane Pasture-Raised welfare standards, which provides at least 108 square feet per hen of expansive green pastures.
