I’ve always loved dining out at Prezzo Italian restaurants in the UK. Just like many of you, I enjoy their delicious pasta dishes, pizzas, and, of course, their decadent desserts. However, there's an important change that needs to be made in their supply chain for me to truly enjoy those meals guilt-free. I firmly believe that no animal deserves a life of confinement and misery, especially not for their entire existence. Chickens, just like any other living being, deserve to live a life free from cages.

Currently, Prezzo Italian uses eggs sourced from caged hens. These chickens are forced to live their lives in tiny, cramped cages where they cannot spread their wings, move freely, or engage in natural behaviours vital to their well-being. It’s time for this to change. As consumers who care about animal welfare, we must take action to demand that Prezzo commits to sourcing cage-free eggs by 2030.

In 2019, Prezzo publicly committed to a fully free-range supply chain by 2021. Seven years later, there have been no updates, and there has been a complete abandonment of their commitment. We need to hold Prezzo accountable to its promises and urge them to switch to 100% cage-free eggs in their supply chain. 

Numerous leaders in the UK casual dining scene, such as Pizza Express, Pizza Hut and Nando's, have already transitioned to using only cage-free eggs, proving it is both a feasible and responsible choice. With Prezzo being another prominent name in this scene, its commitment to this change would not only improve the lives of countless animals but also align with an industry ethical standard. It is crucial for businesses to align with ethical supply chains, which reflect their customers' values for sustainability and humane treatment of animals.

There are several pragmatic steps that Prezzo could take to achieve this commitment by 2030. They could collaborate with suppliers who meet higher animal welfare standards, gradually phase out their use of caged eggs by setting annual targets, and transparently report on their progress to the public. Doing so not only strengthens the company’s ethical stance but also enhances its reputation among conscientious diners.

By signing this petition, we can collectively urge Prezzo to take the necessary steps towards better animal welfare and commit to using only cage-free eggs by 2030. Let's show them that as their loyal customers, we care about where our food comes from and how it impacts the well-being of animals. Together, we can create a better, kinder future for these animals.

Please sign this petition to join the movement for change and encourage Prezzo to commit to using cage-free eggs in their supply chain by the year 2030. Your voice can make a difference!
