UK: Tesco shareholder reject TV chef's chicken welfare call

Tesco shareholders today voted against a resolution from TV cook Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall which called for the retail giant to improve its chicken-rearing standards.

The star of Channel 4’s 'River Cottage' series put forward a resolution at the company’s annual general meeting requesting that the supermarket upgrade its minimum conditions to the RSPCA’s “Freedom Food” marque.
