Just Egg Cracks the Competition: Eat Just Is PETA’s 2025 Company of the Year

Did you know vegan egg sales are growing five times faster than the chicken egg market? This egg-cellent news is in large part thanks to Eat Just, whose delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-use vegan Just Egg is available nationwide in the U.S. That’s why Eat Just is PETA’s 2025 Company of the Year. Thanks to Eat Just, choosing eggs made from plants is not just easy, but it also helps save millions of hens from a lifetime of suffering.

Why Eat Just Is PETA’s 2025 Company of the Year

As bird flu ran rampant through the egg industry’s filthy sheds this year, egg cartons went missing from grocery store shelves, Eat Just was ready with its zero-cholesterol, chicken-friendly vegan egg. PETA distributed the protein-packed egg substitute to hungry passersby from coast to coast, nabbing rave reviews and encouraging people across the country to break up with cruelty- and cholesterol-laden chicken eggs.

Since launching in 2019, the plant-powered pioneer’s Just Egg line has sold the equivalent of 500 million chicken eggs.

In another significant win for birds, Eat Just debuted its vegan Just Meat Chicken in August, which blew away its meaty counterpart in a head-to-head consumer taste test.

Eat Just also pledged not to test on animals and signed on to PETA’s Eat Without Experiments Program—ensuring that it harms no animals to create or develop its products.

Eat Just Is Just the Best for Birds

Chickens form complex social structures, dream when they sleep, and worry about the future, just as humans do. But hens in the egg industry—regardless of whether or not eggs are labeled “cage-free” or “humane”—are crammed together inside crowded, filthy sheds where they don’t even have enough room to spread their wings without hitting the sides of a cage or other birds. Once their egg production drops, industry workers send them to slaughterhouses, where mechanized blades slit their throats or scald them in defeathering tanks, often while they’re still able to feel every bit of pain.

Since the bird flu outbreak began, the egg and chicken flesh industry has killed more than 180 million birds in horrifying ways, such as by smothering them to death with foam, in an attempt to contain the disease.

Thankfully, the future of food is looking bright thanks to the culinary innovators at Eat Just, who have won over consumers with products that are eggstraordinary for animals, human health, and our environment. Are you ready to leave eggs off your plate? Take PETA’s 3-Week Vegan Challenge today!
