| | Clarification request(s) and responseCostanza T.: 11:07am Nov 3, 2005: Is fed or feed? -
Anthony Green: 11:21am Nov 3, 2005: fed - It's referring to chickens which are fed with corn (excellent quality) and how to test them to ensure that they are not just battery chickens with fraudulent labels
Anthony Green: 11:25am Nov 3, 2005: termine specifico? - Sì Diana, sono polli ruspanti ma mi chiedevo se non ci fosse un termine tecnico specifico diverso utilizzato nei documenti UE ecc
giogi: 2:51pm Nov 3, 2005: Hello Anthony, I think (but it's just a guess) that it could be 'polli allevati a terra', meaning that they are free to move around and peck at whatever they want. -

| | alimentato con mais almeno al 50|% | Explanation:
What is 'Corn Fed Chicken'?
The term 'corn fed' alone is not recognised by the EC Poultrymeat Marketing Standards. The only feed Special Marketing Terms (SMTs) for poultrymeat are 'fed with x %…..' (eg 'fed with 50% corn') or 'oats fed goose'. However, the term 'corn fed' is commonly used, and is understood to mean that the feed formula given during the greater part of the fattening period contains at least 50% corn/maize. The fattening period is not defined in the regulations but is generally thought to be the latter half of the chicken's life. |
