Animal Equality protested outside Pret a Manger’s London headquarters on October 14, 2026. The protest highlighted the company's lack of progress on animal welfare issues, specifically regarding its use of fast-growing 'frankenchicken' breeds. Pret a Manger had previously promised to cease using these breeds by 2026 but later extended that deadline to 2032.
