In April 2019, animal advocacy organization, Open Cages, documented extreme cruelty inside the last foie gras farm in the Ukraine, owned and operated by poultry company MHP, during an undercover investigation.

Today, MHP made its ‘End of Operations’ announcement as a result of international pressure stemming from the undercover investigation at the farm earlier this year. The company is expected to cease all foie gras production by early September.
