Quality you can verify.
Quality at Carolina Precision Foods starts at the cutting table and continues after every box is labeled. Our processes are documented, inspected and independently verified.
USDA Process Verified Program
Carolina Precision Foods holds a USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Process Verified Program for chicken processed at our Florence, SC establishment (Est. P47981).
Process verification gives your purchasing, quality and marketing teams documented support for the claims on your label. The program is listed publicly by USDA so you can confirm it yourself.
| Verified claim | What it means |
|---|---|
| No Antibiotics Ever | Chicken from birds given no antibiotics from hatch to harvest. |

| USA Source Verified | Chickens hatched and raised in the United States. |
| Raised Cage Free | Chickens raised cage free. |
| All Vegetarian Diet | Birds fed 100% vegetable-source diets with no animal by-products. |
