Panaderías Castaño is a chain of bakeries in Chile. It is the second largest bakery chain in the country.[1] Its subsidiary, Grain Red S.A., opened the first Starbucks coffee outlet in Chile.[2]
In addition to selling bread, its empanadas are also popular. The sweet version, topped with chancaca, of sopaipilla, a traditional pastry popular in Chilean culture, is also well known in Castaño bakeries.[3]
Animal Welfare
[edit]In 2018, the international NGO, Sinergia Animal, launched a campaign directed at the company, asking them to announce a cage-free egg commitment for its entire supply chain. By 2021, the company still has not made a statement regarding the motion.[4] [5]
