KFC, Nando’s and others drop chicken welfare pledge

What happened: Several fast-food chains, including KFC, Nando's, Wingstop, and Burger King, have withdrawn from a commitment to avoid using fast-growing chicken breeds.

Why it matters:

  • This change may affect animal welfare standards in the poultry industry.
  • Consumers concerned about ethical sourcing could be influenced by these decisions.

MNN Take: The move reflects challenges in balancing supply demands with welfare commitments in the fast-food sector.
