Food scales designed for home use are not calibrated in the same manner; therefore the measurement of weight will vary slightly, much like that of a home scale and a doctor's office scale. We hope this helps to clarify our weight system, and alleviate any of your concerns. ~Eliza.

@PerdueChicken We review, along with the USDA, the scales daily to ensure that all weights are set correctly. Consumers do not pay for packaging materials, only for the net weight of the product. The local departments of weights and measures regulate this.

Today marks Day 1 of the #PerdueAnimalCareSummit. Today, we opened the barn doors wide open and invited animal care activists, industry experts and retail partners to learn more about veggie feed, chicken house enhancements and so much more!

Our 8th Annual Animal Care Summit is almost here! Over the next few days, we will meet with animal care experts, advocacy groups and researchers, plus retail and foodservice customers, to discuss and get feedback on the latest advances. Stay tuned! #PerdueAnimalCareSummit

During processing, we remove and discard the impacted parts of the muscle, and keep the rest – all of which is inspected by the USDA, and perfectly safe and wholesome. Our active chickens nourish active families. ~Eliza.

Every evening the entire processing plant is sanitized thoroughly top to bottom so all equipment is thoroughly cleaned before the start of the plant and with the approval of USDA. However, can you please direct message us any package information you may have and or photos? ~Eliza.

If a product with an allergen has to be processed in the middle of the day, that equipment has to be broken down and thoroughly cleaned to avoid any type of cross contaminants.

Each processing facility has an allergen control policy. The facility is required to follow two steps. The product with an allergen present should be processed last in the production sequence for the day which ensures that no cross contamination will take place.

While other companies might include animal by-products in the diets they feed their animals (things like blood and bones), at Perdue, we never put any animal by-products in the food we provide to our animals. ~Eliza.
