INGHAM'S HAS PLENTY TO CLUCK ABOUT!

SPCA gives a badge of approval to Ingham's barn-raised chickens

In a New Zealand first, SPCA has awarded its revered Animal Welfare Certified badge to barn raised chicken farms.

Ingham’s is the first company to meet the rigorous new animal welfare standards for barn-raised chickens. The official approval from New Zealand’s oldest and largest animal welfare charity means all of Ingham’s chicken farms are now SPCA Certified – another first for the local industry.

Ingham’s New Zealand chief executive Ed Alexander says animal welfare has always been top priority.

“We know Kiwis love their chicken – more than a third of all our meals with meat are chicken, and we also know how much Kiwis care about the way animals are farmed in Aotearoa, so this was always an important benchmark for us to reach, especially to be the first to do so.
