organic poultry
Chemical-free farm birds
Organic poultry refers to chickens, turkeys, ducks, and other domesticated birds raised according to organic agricultural standards—typically meaning no antibiotics, no synthetic pesticides in feed, and access to outdoor space.
The term appears on food labels and menus to signal higher welfare and environmental standards: We only buy organic poultry.
Whether the premium price reflects meaningful differences remains debated.
