We get real questions about chicken every day from people like you, so we figured we would share some of those real-life questions and answers with you here every week. If you’ve got a question about chicken or chicken farming in Canada, send us a note to Dear Chicken Farmer and we’ll do our best to answer it. Dear Chicken Farmer: Does any of the chicken sold in Canada come from China? Canada does not import any chicken meat from China. In 2007, the four countries of origin for chicken meat imports were, in descending order: the U.S., Brazil, Thailand (cooked product only) and Chile. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is currently examining the Chinese chicken industry in response to import requests, but as yet no veterinary agreements, necessary for the paperwork that accompanies food imports, have been signed. Canada’s chicken industry provides most of the chicken consumed in Canada through a system called “supply management” which matches production to demand to ensure a consistent amount of high quality chicken is available to consumers. Check back next week for more questions and answers.
