Is Lydia Wardle supporting animal cruelty?

Lydia Wardle serves as the Vice President of Supply Chain at Crumbl and has been with the company since 2023. Prior to joining Crumbl Cookies, she worked as Vice President of Supply Chain at JINYA Holdings Inc., Luna Grill, and Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt. She received her degree in Business Administration and Management from Portland State University.

In her leadership position at Crumbl, preceded by years of experience with supply chains, Lydia has no excuse for her inaction. She continues to fail both Crumbl’s customers and animals by ignoring critical animal welfare concerns, despite having the power to drive change by sourcing 100% cage-free eggs in Crumbl’s supply chain. Both the animals and Crumbl’s customers deserve better. It’s time for Lydia to finally take action.

Crumbl markets itself as a trendy, fun brand, but behind the weekly cookie drops lies a darker reality. While many food companies—such as Krispy Kreme and Dairy Queen—have committed to using cage-free eggs in their products, Crumbl has refused to get with the times and continues to rely on an archaic industry that confines hens to filthy, barren cages for their entire lives.

Caged egg-laying hens spend their lives crammed together in filthy, barren wire cages. They cannot dust-bathe or express most of their natural behaviors. Often, they suffer from broken bones and mental anguish . Each hen is unable even to spread her wings, and she only has as much space as the size of a home microwave within which to live her entire, miserable life.

Will Lydia Wardle step up and commit to using 100% cage-free eggs at Crumbl, or will she continue to hold the company back by supporting cruel, outdated practices?
