Hello everyone!

We are very pleased to share two new commitments for Peru:

  1. Doomo Saltado, a Peruvian restaurant in Lima city with two locations, has started using cage-free eggs since last month and has announced its cage-free commitment for 2024.
  2. Armónica, one of the restaurants of Arama gastronomic group, was already using cage-free eggs and made their commitment public in 2024. 

Commitment link:

You can see Doomo Saltado’s commitment in this LINK.

Scale: National (Perú)

Timeline: 

Doomo Saltado: First contact in January 2024, continuous follow-up until achieving an in-person meeting in February 2024.

Armónica (Arama): First contact in August 2023, continuous follow-up until achieving an in-person meeting in April 2024. (Compromiso Verde). 

ARBA and Sinergia Animal have been in contact with Arama since 2022, and they have also succeeded in having negotiation meetings.

Who: 

Doomo Saltado: Compromiso Verde

Armónica (Arama): Compromiso Verde, Asociación para el Rescate y Bienestar de los animales (ARBA), Sinergia Animal 

Unsuccessful Tactics: Sending personalized emails monthly to schedule a virtual or in-person meeting didn't work with Armónica (Arama).

Successful Tactics: Sending a biweekly newsletter with valuable content and updates on the cage-free movement worked with Arama. Silvana, Supply Chain Manager, responded saying that she received a lot of emails from us and that they already use cage-free eggs in Armónica. We made a proposal from Compromiso Verde to formalize the commitment. Definitely, what also helped is that other organizations like ARBA and Sinergia Animal were also in contact with the manager, pressuring them to make a cage-free commitment.

With Doomo Saltado, making a presentation focused on sustainability and social responsibility worked, as both are important to the company's culture.

Scalability: Armónica’s commitment is very important because Arama is a gastronomic group with 4 business lines and 12 brands, and we will seek commitments for all their brands.

Follow Up: We will stay in touch to request reports and validate compliance with the commitments. Additionally, we will continue to stay in contact with Arama to achieve commitments with the other brands in the chain.


Thank you!

Hello FAST members! I am bringing you the 2024 results of our project "Reducing Anemia with Plant-Based Iron." Once again, the results are excellent. We are starting work with new schools in 2025. Project description and results: Anemia is a common disease in Peru, especially among children and women of reproductive age. Iron deficiency anemia is characterized by a lack of iron in the blood, which causes a reduction in the number of red blood cells and, therefore, a decrease in the body's ability to transport oxygen from the lungs to the various organs and tissues. In Peru, anemia is primarily due to a diet deficient in iron-rich foods and a lack of access to quality health services, which leads to infections that inhibit the absorption of this nutrient. Many people, especially in very low-income rural areas, do not have access to iron-rich foods or lack knowledge on the subject. Furthermore, access to quality health services is limited, making the diagnosis and treatment of anemia difficult. According to the Peruvian Ministry of Health, 49% of children under 5 years of age living in rural areas suffer from anemia. In urban areas, the percentage is 37%. Furthermore, 57% of women of reproductive age also suffer from this disease. To address the problem of anemia, ARBA has created a program called "Reducing Anemia with Plant-Based Iron." Through in-person and virtual workshops, it teaches parents where to obtain iron from plant-based foods and helps prevent anemia in their children. Through partnerships with schools, our team, with the consent of parents and teachers, takes blood samples from children between 4 and 12 years of age in two stages (before and after parent training). The results of these analyses are revealing and show a clear and severe iron deficiency in many children. In the two years that ARBA has been carrying out this intervention in schools, incredible results have been obtained, demonstrating that anemia can be overcome with proper nutriti
