Chicken & Nutrition
Chicken Welfare & Sourcing
At KFC, we’re proud of high-quality ingredients that deliver the craveable KFC taste you can’t get anywhere else. It’s what the Colonel stood for and what our customers expect. Our commitment to quality includes:
- Chickens that are healthy and well cared for
- Farmers who adhere to recognized welfare standards
- Supply chains that are sustainable and secure
Across the U.S., France, Canada and Australia, XX% of our chicken is locally sourced.
We work closely with our suppliers on regular audits and reporting to ensure our high standards are consistently met. And we’re well on our way to achieving our commitment to transition to cage-free eggs for all menu items and ingredients in the U.S. and Western Europe by 2026.

Menu Innovation & Transparency
Our food team is constantly innovating, exploring new recipes and finding new ways to make nutritional improvements and offering healthier options on our menus.
Many people come to KFC for a treat, but many also come to us for other occasions. We aim to provide nutrition and allergen information so guests can make informed choices.
In 2024, KFC UK&I shared its first-ever Nutrition Progress Update, which tracks the team’s progress on nutrition across its menu and aims to increase transparency for consumers.
