On the Farm  /  Food Safety and Animal Care

The use of antibiotics in the raising of chicken is an issue that we’re often asked about.  We take our responsibility for ensuring that Canadians are well-informed about the food they serve their families seriously, and we work with government partners to ensure that the safest methods of chicken farmer are adhered to.

Food safety is among the top concerns for Canadians, and we believe that food safety begins on the farm. That’s why we’re committed to ensuring that all 2,800 chicken farmers in Canada are responsible for producing quality chicken that meets both the food safety and animal care concerns of our customers.

Raising healthy birds in a humane way is as important to Canadian chicken farmers as it is to those who purchase chicken for their family. The Canadian chicken industry works closely with its partners to ensure that stringent regulations related to the care and handling of our birds are met and followed.
