US egg producer NestFresh Eggs has announced that its entire retail range is now sourced through its “Humanely Hatched” programme, using in-ovo sexing technology to prevent male chick culling before hatch.

It’s a clear signal of how innovation can reshape the industry and exactly the direction our campaign has been calling for in the UK. A practical, scalable solution that shows what a more responsible egg supply chain can look like when technology is applied at scale.

45 million.

That’s how many male chicks are killed in the UK every year.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

With viable alternatives already available, we’re calling on the UK Government to ban male chick culling and end this outdated practice for good.

A huge thank you to Sadie Frost for standing with us and adding her voice to this campaign.

"There's still a misconception that vegetarians can't compete at a high level - but it's simply not true."

Vegetarian triathlete Clementine Bird is proving exactly that. Since choosing a vegetarian lifestyle at 14 years old, she has quietly built her journey to the world stage on pure discipline. Every single week, she balances a demanding full-time job with a rigorous schedule of eight training sessions across swimming, cycling, running, and strength training.

Now, all that relentless dedication has brought her to Spain for tomorrow's race.

She is living proof that determination, resilience, and elite performance are defined by what’s in your heart, not just what’s on your plate. We want to wish Clementine the absolute best of luck as she lines up in Tarragona to represent Great Britain at the European Championships.

We will be rooting for you all the way! 💪💚

Protein supplementation is one of the fastest growing nutrition trends in the UK, with 24 percent of Brits reporting they’ve bought protein bars or sports nutrition products in the last three months.

But not all high protein choices are as straightforward as they seem. Many popular bars and powders contain ingredients like whey, casein, gelatine and collagen, which are derived from animals and are not always obvious from the label front of pack.

At the same time, the UK protein bar market is now worth over £1 billion, showing just how mainstream these products have become.

The good news is that plant based options are widely available, using ingredients such as pea, soy and rice protein, alongside nuts, seeds and whole food sources like oats and flaxseeds.

When you want clarity at a glance, our certification marks do the checking for you, helping you choose products that align with your values in seconds, not labels.

Look for Vegetarian Society Approved certification marks when you shop.
