Commitment to Consistent High Quality
From the farm to your table, rest assured that the United States takes the lead in providing safe, delectable, and nourishing food to the world.
New technologies and technical advances in poultry genetics, production and processing have allowed U.S. poultry consumption to earn a worldwide reputation of unmatched quality.
We Know Poultry
The United States is among the largest producers of food and agricultural products in the world, including millions of tons of chicken, turkey, and duck, and billions of eggs a year. All U.S. poultry products are precisely monitored following high standards, all the way from breeding, feeding, slaughter, freezing, packaging, transporting to marketing.
Quality
All export products are inspected and approved by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which in turn guarantees both quality and safety. The USDA inspection and grading programs ensure proper labelling of all poultry products into one of three grades: Grade “A”, Grade “B” or Grade “C”.
No added Hormones
Today’s chickens are bigger than they used to be. They benefit from almost a century of improvements in breeding, nutrition, veterinary care, and overall bird health – leaving them with healthier bodies and stronger muscles. Hormones are prohibited by law by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) making all chickens and turkeys exported by the United States hormone and steroid free.
Safety
Like all fresh foods, poultry carry a natural microflora that may contain organisms potentially harmful to humans. Food safety is a top concern to the U.S. poultry industry, and companies work hard and spend millions of dollars each year to improve the safety of their products. In addition, proper handling, cooking and storage is essential to maximizing food safety.
