Is your supermarket selling you Frankenchickens?

does not sell Frankenchickens

From September 2025, every Waitrose own-brand chicken product - including frozen, processed and ingredient - complies with Better Chicken Commitment criteria, which includes a prohibition on the use of Frankenchickens.

However, most of the other major UK supermarkets - including Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Iceland, Morrisons, Co-op, Asda, and Sainsbury’s - continue to use Frankenchickens.

Frankenchickens are bred to grow unnaturally fast, meaning they live short, painful lives. At just a few weeks old, many can no longer stand under their own body weight. Instead, they are forced to lie in their own waste.
