Chicken as Usual

It’s not business as usual, but it’s ‘Chicken as Usual’

Chicken is the #1 protein choice for Canadian consumers and, while Ontarians have adjusted where and what they eat and how they shop amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Ontario chicken farmers want consumers to know it's 'Chicken as Usual' in terms of the commitment to producing safe, healthy, high quality, Ontario-grown chicken.

We understand that many comforting behaviours and routines, particularly surrounding food, have changed for Ontarians over the year. One thing that has not changed is the commitment of Ontario's chicken farmers, who remain hard at work to ensure chicken production continues across the province!

"While many common, routines have changed – and things are definitely not business as usual – Ontario's chicken farmers are on the job and committed to raising safe, healthy, high quality, locally-grown chicken for families and for food banks," said CFO Chair Murry Opsteen.

On behalf of farmer-members, CFO donated $25,000 to Feed Ontario to help aid in their Emergency Response program, which looks to provide pre-packaged emergency food boxes to food banks across the province. The donation will enable Feed Ontario to provide 17,500 meals and snacks to 225,000 people.
