Wolfgang Puck adopts animal welfare policyPosted Mar 22nd 2007 1:02PM by Joanne LutynecFiled under: Restaurants, Farming, Business, Fish, Poultry, Trends, AmericaWolfgang Puck, famed chef and owner of such restaurants as Spago, Chinois, and Vert, has announced that he will now only be using eggs and meats that are produced by animals that have been raised under strict humane standards. This includes ceasing to serve fois gras, the fattened liver of ducks and geese, in his restaurants. According to one source, Puck will now only purchase eggs from chickens that were not confined to small cages, and will only use seafood that was harvested in such a way that it "doesn't endanger the environment or deplete stocks." In addition, his veal, pork, and poultry purchases are to come from suppliers that have adopted higher animal welfare standards and don't confine their animals. We saw a glimpse of this change already as Puck planned an "Oscar goes organic" cocktail party for the Governer's Ball after this year's Academy Awards, and he plans to adopt these new methods into his restaurants, frozen pizza, and canned soup lines.
