The National Chicken Council Chicken is America's favorite food at the center of the plate.
Food safety is a top concern of the chicken industry.
Companies work hard and spend millions of dollars per year to produce top-quality, safe and wholesome chicken products. Our Web site includes recommendations for safe handling and cooking of fresh products by consumers. The National Chicken Council represents integrated broiler producer-processors, the companies that produce, process and market chickens. Member companies of NCC account for more than 95 percent of the chicken sold in the United States under a variety of brand names and private labels, and supply chicken to foodservice outlets, club stores, and government agencies. Companies who supply services and equipment to the integrated broiler industry are also eligible for allied membership.
