Restaurant Brands International and Tyson Foods, Inc. have joined the Round Table on Responsible Soy Association (R.T.R.S.) as members of the organization in its Industry, Trade and Finance constituency, reports Supermarket Perimeter.
As part of its commitment to the R.T.R.S., Springdale, AR-based Tyson plans to enhance the sustainability of its supply chain specific to animal feed, says Maggie Jo Hansen, senior commodity analyst, international and sustainability, at Tyson Foods.
“We will acquire R.T.R.S. certified material for the soybean meal used to feed chickens in our supply chain, which generally comes from areas identified as ‘high risk,’” she said. “In addition, we hope to identify other opportunities to work with R.T.R.S. in order to guarantee sustainable soy practices globally.”
