US Chicken is not only delicious, safe in terms of food hygiene, but also good for your family's health. Chicken contains no carbohydrates and is lower in fat than beef or pork. Chicken is lean and rich in protein, so it is considered one of the most healthy and nutritious kinds of food for your family's meals and health. In addition, chicken is easy and flexible in processing dishes. Chicken can be fried, roasted, baked in the microwave or even air fryer.

The USA Poultry and Eggs Export Council - USAPEEC has liaison offices around the world. From trade policies to promotional activities, the USAPEEC has been working to build demands globally. The US eggs and poultry industry is very strict in managing the quality, hygiene and food safety from farms to consumers. The US chicken is regularly inspected by USDA inspectors to maintain the highest quality in the world. Any signs of disease in chicken are detected very early by the USDA inspectors who were trained intensively. The US poultry industry does not use hormones in livestock. When necessary and under the supervision of licensed veterinarians, antibiotics may be used to prevent disease in poultry./.
