In early 2016, retail giant Whole Foods Market pledged to work with the Global Animal Partnership (GAP) to source chicken exclusively from slower-growing breeds with better living conditions.
Later that year, all five of the top food service companies, which provide dining options to universities, businesses, entertainment venues, and stadiums across the country, committed to better chicken. Over 100 million chickens will benefit from these policy changes every year!
Since then, we've seen progress for chickens start to snowball...and some of the biggest companies in the world heeded the call, including Subway, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Chipotle, TGI Fridays, Campbell’s, and many more—over 180 in total. Thanks to these commitments, hundreds of millions of chickens annually will live better lives.
Following a Compassion campaign, Perdue Farms became the first chicken company to publish a detailed animal welfare policy. And in a game-changing move, they announced last year that the company would meet demand for higher welfare chicken—the first major chicken producer to commit to healthier genetics, more space, natural light, and behavioral enrichments.
