🚀 We’re thrilled to share our second annual Nutrition Update! 🚀   Today, we’re excited to launch our second Nutrition Progress Update, which highlights the progress we’ve made toward the goals we set last year and offers transparency about what’s on our menu.

Set your watches, the countdown is on…👀🚨 Littering is trashy behaviour. We hate it and we know you do too! That’s why, for the fifth year running, we’re teaming up with Keep Britain Tidy for their annual #GreatBritishSpringClean 🙌 Taking place on Tuesday 1st April, thousands of KFC colleagues from hundreds of restaurants across the UK will be litter picking your local high streets, parks, and beaches, all to help local communities keep their streets clean 🚮 Last year, we collected 20,000 bags of litter, working alongside local litter picking groups, councillors and mayors to help make our communities cleaner across the UK. This year, we’re hoping to go even bigger and better – but we need your help! By making sure you’re picking up your rubbish and leaving spaces as spotless you find them, you’re helping us tackle the nation’s litter problem head on 💪 Check out footage from last year’s litter pick below 👇  #KFCUKI #lifeatKFC #GreatBritishSpringClean
