About Food Lion

Safeguarding Animal Welfare

Food Lion customers can rest assured that we require the humane treatment of animals in conjunction with the products we sell, providing a safer, healthier eating experience. We demand our meat and poultry suppliers adhere to the animal welfare standards such as those of the Food Marketing Institute, the guidelines set forth by the American Meat Institute Foundation, a nonprofit research, education and information group whose standards have been approved by academic and industry experts, or The United Egg Producers Certification Program. We check our suppliers to make sure they meet these standards and require written confirmation of their compliance.
