Advanced Quality Assurance

Advanced Quality Assurance

Protecting retail brands and contract manufacturers requires strict adherence to food safety standards. Advanced X-ray technology and metal detection systems scan for bone and foreign materials during production. An on-site USDA Resident Grader verifies every piece of chicken as USDA Grade A or higher before shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions About B2B & Retail Poultry Processing

How do you cut and portion the chicken?

We use a combination of hand-cutting lines and automated equipment to meet your exact specifications. Our facilities feature DSI 800 Series water-jet portioners and DB20 intelligent knife systems for highly accurate, automated cuts.

What kind of value-added products can you co-pack?

We can co-pack a wide variety of custom poultry products based on your specific needs. Examples include chicken sausages, marinated breast filets, and disjointed wings.

What food safety certifications do you have?

Both of our Alabama plants maintain BRC certification and participate in the USDA Process Verified Program. Our facilities are also AMS-certified and fully capable of Halal processing.

Do you process dark meat for further manufacturing?

We extract meat from whole legs and thighs using hand deboning lines and automated Marel systems equipped with the Dark Meat Yield Plus Trimming System. Contract manufacturers frequently buy this high-yield raw material to use in their own branded goods.

What production volumes can your facilities handle?

Our three Alabama plants process millions of pounds of chicken annually. This high-volume capacity provides a steady and reliable supply for national retail brands and large-scale contract manufacturers.
