Facts About The Chicken
The article notes chickens reach market in seven to eight weeks and require about six and a half pounds of feed for a three pound broiler. It cites average American consumption around 44 pounds this year, with record pace in production about ten percent higher than last year and retail prices well below last year. Consumers are urged to choose cuts or whole birds by preference and price influences.
How To Tell When Meat Is Really Fresh
A shopper guide explains dating on meat displays and how long cuts stay usable. Look for readable dates and ask managers about dating practices and display times. Buyers may find occasional specials to move meat at peak freshness before expiration. Use remaining meat promptly, keep cold, and maintain cleanliness.
