Undercover Video Shows Animal Abuse at Fair Oaks Farms; Retailers Remove Fairlife Products

Jewel-Osco and at least two other retailers are removing all Fairlife products from their shelves after an undercover video was made public showing inhumane treatment of animals at Indiana’s Fair Oaks Farms. The northwest Indiana dairy farm has fired four employees that were seen in the graphic undercover video released by a non-profit animal welfare organization showing animals being beaten, pushed, kicked, punched, and thrown.

Similar to Jewel-Osco, Family Express has also said it would “discontinue all products sold by Fairlife, LLC” from its stores.

“The exposé of animal abuse in the Fair Oaks Farm network is chilling. A factor in our decision was the public response by Fair Oaks, asserting the notion that this was an isolated incident,” Family Express said in a statement.

The Animal Recovery Mission or ARM spent three months undercover during the investigation. “In our 10 years of being undercover, we have never seen such consistent, constant abuse to a newborn baby animal,” said ARM Founder Richard Couto. ARM describes itself as a “non-profit investigative organization dedicated to eliminating severe animal cruelty operations.”

Fairlife has responded by saying: “We do not condone any type of abuse and are taking this information seriously”. The Chicago-based company is owned by Fair Oaks Farms Founder Mike McCloskey.
