Our products are always safe and antibiotic-free
HKFoods' core business principle is consumer and customer satisfaction, which calls for highest quality of products. Our control of the whole supply chain from farm to consumer enables us to supply antibiotic-free poultry (ABF), that is also guaranteed Salmonella free. To ensure safety and animal welfare we have both own and national veterinary inspection, before, during and after slaughter. The special Salmonella status in Finland is also acknowledged by EU (Source: Luke, EFSA, The Finnish Food Auhtority).
HKFoods has modern poultry production units in Finland. Animals grow healthy in conditions that promote good disease prevention and well-being. Animal health is ensured through species-specific housing, good hygiene practices, professional methods and animal handling, and high-quality disease prevention. In HKFoods' food chain, animals are treated with antibiotics only when they are ill, and only under the prescription and supervision of a veterinarian and in accordance with withdrawal periods. Therefore, our products are always safe and antibiotic-free. Antibiotics are not utilised at all in our food chain for growth promotion or disease prevention. The use of antibiotics and hormones for growth promotion is also forbidden based on Finnish legislation. In Finland, the use of antibiotics in production animals in one of the lowest in Europe (source: EMA ESVAC, FINRES-Vet). In other parts of the world, antibiotics and hormones can be used in animals also for growth promotion and disease prevention. In Finland, animal welfare is governed by strict legislation and regulations, and biosecurity standards are high.
Animal welfare is reflected, for example, in the fact that chickens in our poultry chain are so healthy that no antibiotics have been necessary. As the use of antibiotics is strictly controlled and very limited, Finnish meat is a safe choice. Read more about animal welfare
