Casey's Foods Drops Fairlife Farms After Alleged Animal Abuse

NAPERVILLE, IL -- The Naperville-based Casey's Foods recently announced it will stop carrying Fairlife Farms products. The announcement comes after an undercover video was made public depicting alleged abuse against calves at Fair Oaks Farms, the Northwest Indiana farm that produces Fairlife Farms milk.

According to Chicago Tribune, management at Casey's Foods took Fairlife products off of the shelf after watching the video, which was circulated widely online. The video, released by a group of animal rights activists, appears to show staff at Fair Oaks Farms brutalizing calves.

In the video, you can see calves being kicked, thrown, and hit by employees. Since the video was released, Fair Oaks Farms said three of the employees in the footage had already been terminated. A fourth was terminated Wednesday.
