100% Air Chilled Means:
- No Retained Water
- No Chlorinated Water
- No Diluted Flavor
- Reduced Human Handling
- Reduced Environmental Impact
During harvest, chicken must be cooled to a food-safe temperature. Most chicken in supermarkets is cooled in a shared chlorine water bath. That water ends up in the chicken you purchase and consume. Bell & Evans chicken is 100% Air Chilled with no water bath.
Bells and Evans continues to innovate new ways to keep their chickens and customers happy and healthy, starting with our organic-certified facilities:
- Organic Hatchery
- Organic Harvesting
- Organic Rendering
- Organic Further Processing
- Organic Partner Farms
- This item in particular is not organic however it was processed in an organic grade processing plant and more organic options are available.
Are you paying for chlorinated water in your chicken?
Bell & Evans is 100% Air Chilled. That means no retained water. With conventional chilling systems, chickens absorb up to 12% of their body weight in retained chlorinated water, which you pay for. This water “weeps” out of the meat and is trapped in the “diaper” you find in other fresh chicken packaging.
