We pride ourselves in offering highquality and safe meat, poultry and egg products. Animal welfare is very important to us and we require that all of our suppliers treat animals humanely. The global organization PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals,applauded BURGER KING restaurants for our progress in the area of animal welfare. In 2003, BKC was awarded a “Breakthrough Award” for our BK VEGGIE burger, and in 2008, we received PETA’s “Most Improved National Food Chain” award in their fifth annual Proggy Awards, which recognizes companies for their progress.
