KFC, Nando's, and others ditch chicken welfare pledge
Summary
BBC reports that eight major UK restaurant groups, including KFC and Nando's, pulled out of the Better Chicken Commitment and joined the industry-led Sustainable Chicken Forum. The move aims to balance animal welfare with rising demand and emissions concerns, while industry figures argue there is not yet enough slower-growing poultry supply to replace the current stock. Welfare groups criticize the shift as profit-driven, highlighting ongoing tensions between welfare aims and business realities.
