Chickens are purchased from both Free Range Farms and Big Foods Ltd. Free Range Farms produces chickens that are fed with natural grains and grubs in open feeding areas.
In their product mix, 10% of the processed chickens weigh less than 3 pounds. Big Foods Ltd. produces chickens in cages using enriched food grains for rapid growth. They note that 20% of their processed chickens weigh less than three poounds.
Gigantic Foods purchases 40% of its chickens from Free Range Farms and mixes the products together with no identification of the supplier.
