American chicken is safe, nutritious and delicious -- and for families, it is an economical and versatile choice for lunch, dinner or anytime snacking. Although many people are concerned when they hear about the Asian strain of avian influenza on the news, we all owe it to ourselves to learn what is the truth and what is just sensationalism by the media.

In order to keep your family dinner safe, Delmarva poultry farmers and the industry are conducting additional health tests on every flock grown for processing prior to those birds ever leaving the farm. Should avian influenza be discovered on a commerical poultry farm, the industry has plans in place to contain the flock. Learn more by clicking the Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc. link below. You can remain confident that American chicken is a smart, wholesome choice.
