Scheme Benefits

ACP is one of the most powerful engines yet developed to drive continuing improvement in food safety and animal welfare standards in chicken production. The use of the logo greatly simplifies consumer recognition for these standards.

Benefits include:

• No antibiotic growth promoters permitted
• Guidance on stocking density
• Total traceability of the life of the bird

Assured Chicken Production continually strives to upgrade the already tough standards and to achieve consistency across the industry. The standards are designed to cover the whole life of the bird up to the processing point. All producers are independently audited to ensure compliance with the standards. The scheme gives UK chicken farmers a chance to gain recognition for the considerable investment in time, money and research that ensures they lead world chicken production standards.
