#Better Chicken Commitment

Another agreement under the bus 🚌 as a load of major Uk restaurants pull out of the better chicken commitment

I’m smiling, but I’m very angry. 8 major food companies – including Nando’s, KFC and Wagamama – have all withdrawn from the Better Chicken Commitment. They’re reneging on their pledge to stop using ‘Frankenchickens’ in their supply chain – the overbred, rapid-growing chickens that suffer awful welfare over the course of their short lives. Instead they’re setting up the Sustainable Chicken Forum, a welfare washing PR stunt to deflect from the horrors these chickens face. Vote with your £££ – don’t spend with these companies. Support @humaneleagueuk and @anima.org.uk both on the front line fighting for these animals to have better lives.

OUR CHICKEN REALLY DOES RULE THE ROOST! 🐓 We’re proud to be the only supermarket where all our chicken meets the Better Chicken Commitment standards or higher 🥇 This means all own-label chicken sold at Waitrose – whether it’s a roast or ready meals, sandwich or skewer – comes from British farms that raise slower-growing breeds, with more space to peck, roost and roam.

It won't be a Merry Lidl Christmas for the millions of Frankenchickens being abused for profit. @lidlgb, give chickens the gift of kindness and compassion this year and sign up to the Better Chicken Commitment. #Lidlchickenscandal #endanimalsuffering #Supermarketssellsuffering #Lidlchickenscandal #BigonCruelty #lidlonkindness #lidlcruelty #lidlscandal #lidlanimalcrueltyscandal #Lidlonwelfare #frankenchicken #frankenchickeniscruel #endfrankenchicken #endfactoryfarming

🐔 Did you know? Fast-growing chicken breeds suffer their entire lives, often unable to even walk properly. But change is happening! Thanks to @TheHumaneLeague's Better Chicken Commitment, 140+ major brands are switching to healthier breeds #AnimalWelfare #foodfacts #sustainablefarming

Why I Stopped Eating Chicken 🐔❌ Ever look at a package of chicken and think it lived a full life? Think again. What you’re holding is a “broiler chicken”—bred to be slaughtered as early as 35 days old. These chickens don’t even reach adulthood, let alone get to explore the world. If you’re like me and you value life, let’s talk about alternatives. 🌱 @daringfoods Plant-Based Chick’n: Packed with natural ingredients and 14g of protein per serving. 🌱 Whole Foods Plant-Based Options: This entire bag has a whopping 56g of protein. That’s more protein than you’ll find in a whole chicken, without the sacrifice. The best part? You can still build muscle without taking another life. That’s what I call conscious muscle. 💬 Comment “CONSCIOUS MUSCLE” if you want to build muscle the compassionate way, and I’ll personally reach out to help you get started.

At Waitrose, we believe better chicken makes a big difference 🐓💚 All of our own-label chicken, whether it’s in your Sunday roast, a tasty sandwich or a quick midweek meal - meets the Better Chicken Commitment standards (or goes even further). That means every chicken comes from British farms, with slower growing breeds, more space, and the freedom to peck, perch and roam. 🪴 #waitrose #teamwaitrose #betterchicken #chicken #chickenrecipes #cambs

🐔 This is the life of the average American chicken👇 An American broiler chicken will never see the sun. It will never breathe fresh air. 99.9% of all chickens raised in America live on factory farms — crowded into massive sheds where they can barely move, standing in their own waste, under artificial light 24/7 to manipulate their eating and growth cycles. While alive, they’re given ionophores, antibiotics like Bacitracin and Tylosin, and coccidiostats Then comes processing. 🏭 What you buy at the store has been through what the industry quietly calls “plumping” — your chicken is injected with a solution of saltwater, phosphates, soy protein, sugar, and “natural flavors” that can add up to 30% of its total body weight. You are paying grocery prices for salt water. There is a MUCH BETTER OPTION!! ✅ Pasture-raised (not just “free-range”) Pasture-raised means chickens spend real time outside, moving, foraging, and eating a natural diet — not just having “access” to a tiny door. ✅ No retained water / no “solution added” Flip the package over. If it says “contains up to X% solution,” you’re paying for saltwater, not chicken. ✅ Color matters A healthy chicken should have a slight pinkish hue. Gray, pale, or translucent meat is often a sign of stress, poor handling, or excess water. ✅ No antibiotics or added hormones Hormones are illegal in chicken, but antibiotics are not. Look for chicken raised without antibiotics — especially if you’re feeding kids. ✅ LINK in my bio to order CHICKEN that checks all the boxes!!
