Perdue Farms—one of the largest poultry producers in the US—says more than 200 retail and foodservice menu items are now being produced without the use of antibiotics, including all of the company’s turkey products.
The transition, announced at the 2016 Annual Meat Conference in Nashville, includes all Perdue brand heat-and-eat and pre-seasoned chicken items, such as retail nuggets, strips and grilled strips. Products will hit shelves this month, with the conversion continuing through May.
