Commitment to Cage-Free Eggs

Hong Kong Adventist Hospital - Stubbs Road features the "Portion Restaurant," the first hospital in Hong Kong to fully incorporate cage-free eggs into its inpatient menu, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. We firmly believe that animal welfare is an essential part of promoting a responsible supply chain, including food and services.

Starting in 2024, Hong Kong Adventist Hospital has completely transitioned to using cage-free eggs in its inpatient menu. This decision not only enhances the quality of our dishes but also supports our core values of environmental sustainability, food safety, and animal welfare, providing healthier dining options for every patient.

Mr. Wong Chi Wing, Registered Dietitian and the Director of Food & Dietetic at Hong Kong Adventist Hospital, states: "We are committed to promoting balanced vegetarian diets, as they are rich in fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals while containing lower saturated fat. Numerous studies have shown that vegetarian diets are effective in preventing and treating various chronic diseases. As the only hospital in Hong Kong that exclusively serves vegetarian meals, we have adopted cage-free eggs to ensure the health and safety of our inpatients while prioritizing animal welfare."

Animal welfare and food safety organizations worldwide are encouraging the use of cage-free eggs, which are not only more humane for animals but also safer for consumers. Hens in cage farming are typically confined to small cages for their entire lives, unable to move freely. Research from the European Food Safety Authority and multiple studies have found that the risk of major Salmonella contamination in cage-free egg farms is 25 times lower than in cage farms.

Many countries, including the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, and certain regions in the United States, have already banned the use of battery cages for egg production. These measures are aimed not only at improving the living conditions of animals but also at providing safer food choices for consumers.
