Today marks the close of National Food Safety Education Month. For those of us in the chicken industry, the best way to observe this important time of year, and all year, is by raising awareness—around what we do to keep chicken safe, and what consumers can do to ensure safety for themselves.
Chicken producers are heavily invested in making sure their products are as safe as possible and meet strict U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards. And thanks to decades of research, innovation and fine-tuning of production protocols, a serving of delicious, nutritious chicken is safer today than ever before.
As part of Food Safety Education Month, we’re proud to share several new FAQs on a topic that matters to millions of Americans every day. In the coming weeks we’ll have even more food safety resources to share.
