Chicken processors appeal Chicken Farmers of Ontario specialty chicken policy Thursday, December 5, 2013 by SUSAN MANN The appeal by the Association of Ontario Chicken Processors of Chicken Farmers of Ontario’s specialty chicken policy is scheduled for two days next week.

Chicken processors association executive director Mike Terpstra says he didn’t want to comment on the appeal. The association is a voluntary trade group representing members on matters related to regulated marketing and other common items.

It’s designed to meet the evolving consumer-driven markets for Ontario-grown chicken products, it says on Chicken Farmers website. Specialty chicken is defined as any distinct chicken product, including unique growing or processing methods, that’s sold exclusively to a distinct marketplace. The program is designed to build the overall market for chicken without cannibalizing conventional chicken markets.
