Is it safe? How do you keep the chicken from spoiling?

Chop Chop Chicken is fully cooked, sealed in the can, and then heat sterilized for 112-118°C for at least 60 minutes (dependant on flavor and can size). There are no preservatives used in the process.
It is a similar process to any other canned food like tuna, canned baked beans, or canned peaches.

Also meets EU and Canadian requirements.

Where is it made?

Chicken from Thailand?

Thailand is one of the largest exporters of chicken meat in the world. We only use export-grade premium chicken meat from large, reputable chicken processers in Thailand. The chicken farms and production facilities adhere to the strictest safety standards and are also regularly inspected and audited.

Do you use caged or battery hens?

Our chickens are barn raised in large buildings or barns where they have free access to food, water, and sunlight, They are free to roam within the barn. This is very similar to standard industry practice both in Australia and NZ.

Are your chickens hormone-free?

There is a strong public perception that growth hormones are widely used in the poultry industry. This, however, is false and hormones have not been used anywhere in the poultry industry for many decades.

What about bird flu?

Bird flu is carried by wild fowl. Our chickens are barn raised and are, therefore, not able to mix with wild fowl. The flock is tested daily under supervision of the Department of Livestock Development (DLD).
"The H5N1 virus is sensitive to heat. Normal temperatures used for cooking (70 °C in all parts of the food) will kill the virus… Avian influenza is not transmitted through cooked food. To date, no evidence indicates that anyone has become infected following the consumption of properly cooked poultry or poultry products, even when these foods were contaminated with the H5N1 virus." (World Health Organisation)
