Hello Fast members!

I am very happy to tell you that we have two new commitments in Peru, one of them with a location in Chile as well.

The first one is with the Universidad Peruana del Norte in the faculties of Tourism Administration and Services and Gastronomy and Restaurant Management. https://blogs.upn.edu.pe/negocios/2024/02/19/acuerdo-promovera-practicas-agricolas-mas-respetuosas-con-el-bienestar-animal/

Chronology: We started talks 7 months ago.

Who: Arba Perú

Successful tactics: Online conversations first with the Decano of the University and later with the faculties and specialized areas. Our link with them was always online linking producers in each department as the university has locations in Lima and in the north of the country.

Scalability: The University has important commercial links in the northern part of the country, not only with other universities but also with different companies in the food industry linked to the careers. This commitment transmits a value proposition for other universities to join.

Follow-up: We will continue working with UPN and its local egg suppliers to achieve full implementation, and we will conduct training and workshops in the faculties on animal welfare.
 


The second cage-free commitment is with Caffe Profondo, in their Peru and Chile locations

Chronology: We started conversations 4 months ago.
Who : Arba Peru

Successful tactics : We started a face-to-face conversation, always very friendly, we made synergy quickly, their sustainability approach made it easier.

Scalability : Caffé Profondo plans to expand its chain to other countries in Latin America and open more stores in Peru, so we will be accompanying them on the way, bringing them closer to local producers.

Follow up: Every three months we will monitor your implementation.

Have a great day!

We’re excited to share that the first AVA Academy in Europe is in the works!  The first AVA Academy in Europe, organized by AVA International, will take place in Berlin, Germany set for late March 2026. This program will be designed specifically for animal advocates across the region—to help you grow your skills, build powerful networks, and strengthen the future of the movement. Your input will directly shape the program—from what’s covered to how the community comes together.  The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete, and your voice will make a big difference. Take the survey here. Thank you for helping us build something impactful that will support advocates like you for years to come!

Subway had previously failed to provide any progress updates on its decade-old commitment to transition its US egg supply to 100% cage-free eggs by 2025. After 6 months of relentless pressure on Subway's US executives and franchisees, The Humane League has achieved a win for hens in North America!!  On September 11, 2025, Subway amended its Sustainability Page to read: All Subway restaurants in the U.S. are set to source 100% cage-free eggs by November 1, 2025, ahead of our commitment deadline. In Canada, 75% of Subway restaurants proudly serve cage-free eggs, with full transition expected by year-end. This multi-year transition fulfills our promise to source 100% cage-free eggs for the more than 22,000 restaurants across North America. Subway is the largest restaurant chain in North America, making it an impactful industry influencer, with an estimated 340,000 egg-laying hens in its US supply chain. Thank you to everyone who took action to hold Subway accountable!!

The JBS subsidiary announced:  “We were recently made aware that a foie gras product not permitted for retail sale in California was inadvertently available in a limited number of our stores. As soon as this was brought to our attention on July 29, 2025, we took immediate action to remove the product from all California locations and from our online assortment…Following that action, Wild Fork made the decision to discontinue the sale of foie gras entirely. As of August 5, 2025, the product has been removed from all Wild Fork stores across the U.S. and Canada.” Animal Outlook's recent undercover investigation revealed that foie gras was being sold in all 11 Wild Fork Foods locations in California, where the sale of foie gras is expressly prohibited by state law. These findings ignited an online campaign pressuring the company to ban foie gras from all its stores and its website. The decision by the world's largest meat company to end its sale of foie gras in North America represents one of the largest single retailer commitments to end foie gras sales in U.S. history.
