The Pecking Order: McDonald's

Fast food isn’t worth the needless suffering of billions of chickens

The Pecking Order grades fast food giants against three criteria for chicken welfare.

Here’s how McDonald's stacks up:

Policies

Poor: McDonald’s has made several commitments to improving chicken welfare across most of the geographies the company is present in, but they don’t align with best practice.

Targets

Poor: Despite McDonald’s having a target to avoid broiler cages across all geographies, they do not have any other truly universal or robust targets.

Reporting

Very poor: McDonald’s publishes very limited data on its progress towards better chicken welfare.
