Our suppliers have verified that all of their poultry flocks have been tested for avian influenza prior to processing and that they have found no incidence of poultry infection or poultry product contamination in their processing chain.
In addition, our suppliers’ poultry farms and processing plants are all located outside of Pampanga and are all operating under strict compliance with the requirements of the Department of Agriculture.
