Buying British - Poultry
|
British poultry is produced to some of the highest standards of flockmanship in the world.
British chicken is the safest chicken meat in Europe: 2% of British chickens have salmonella whereas 30% of European chickens have the disease.
All British hens are vaccinated against salmonella.
Any medication that is given is done so with full veterinary medication.
British poultry travels less far from farm to shop so regardless of how carbon footprints are calculated it self-evidently has a lower carbon footprint.
Choosing British means supporting British farmers whose work helps to keep the British countryside the way we want it to look.
