Exporting poultry meat

Chicken is the world's most popular meat, and one of the most vulnerable when it comes to issues of food safety. New Zealand has world-leading farming and animal welfare policies, and strict biosecurity and food safety requirements. New Zealand poultry is free of many of the diseases found in poultry from other countries.
