Food Safety
Delivering high-quality, safe, and wholesome chicken meat products to Australian consumers is a top priority for the Australian chicken meat industry.
The industry recognises its vital responsibility in protecting public health and maintaining consumer trust. By applying stringent chicken health, biosecurity, and food safety protocols across every stage of production—from farm to processing and distribution—the industry consistently delivers products of exceptional quality that meet rigorous hygiene standards. These standards are regularly audited by government authorities and independent third-party assessors.
The sector promotes a strong food safety culture, participating in national and state initiatives to reduce foodborne illness through regulated hygiene controls, industry guidelines, standards development, and ongoing research.
This approach reinforces the industry’s commitment to delivering safe, wholesome chicken products to customers and consumers across Australia.
