PETA regularly campaigns against the controversial menu item because of the “inhumane treatment of ducks and geese raised and killed for foie gras”.
PETA contacted Brakes Group after receiving complaints that the supplier was offering a foie gras and duck liver pâté.
PETA UK associate director Mimi Bekhechi said: “Brakes Group UK has told PETA that it will remove foie gras, the grotesquely enlarged livers of force-fed ducks and geese, from the list of products it offers.”
Brakes confirmed that plans are underway to stop selling the product: “We are totally committed to removing foie gras from our range of own brand products in the UK as part of our corporate, social and environmental responsibilities.”
In 2012, Compass Group UK & Ireland confirmed that it had removed foie gras following talks with PETA as well as an online campaign in which supporters appealed to the catering company to ban the product.
Wimbledon, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, the BRIT Awards, Lord's Cricket Ground, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Harvey Nichols and the restaurants in both Houses of Parliament have also pledged not to serve or sell foie gras, and Prince Charles does not allow it on Royal menus.
