AVI Foodsystems’ sourcing practices are the highest in the industry. Our procurement team actively seeks partnerships with trustworthy and high-quality suppliers that have a consistent track record of food safety and integrity.
As a responsible and progressive food organization, we meticulously evaluate every ingredient and every supplier. We understand many of our guests enjoy foods that are produced via advanced agriculture practices, sourced in a sustainable manner and are provided by well-regarded suppliers. We are fully committed to food sourcing practices with the utmost integrity and accountability.
In 2015, AVI announced a plan to source eggs from cage-free hens. We set an aggressive target and have recently revised our completion goal to 2024 with a target of 50% of purchases to be converted to cage-free by end of 2022; 75% by end of 2023 and fully implemented by end of 2024. We will report on our progress annually via our website.
We are working with farmers and our internal supply chain to ensure the implementation of this program in a systematic manner. We remain committed to responsible procurement and continuing our progress.
As the largest family-owned and operated foodservice provider in the nation, AVI has a duty and responsibility to ensure the protein and animal products we procure originate from producers that uphold the highest standards and ethics.
The humane treatment of animals is multi-faceted; each step in the process including housing conditions, appropriate nurturing, hunger and thirst needs, good nutrition and proper harvesting is essential to an accountable animal welfare program.
AVI has announced an enhanced set of expectations for our suppliers in which we procure chicken. By 2024, we will source only broiler (meat) chickens certified by Global Animal Partnership (GAP). In addition, our suppliers will agree to slaughter of birds by utilizing a multistep controlled atmosphere process or low atmospheric pressure stunning.
