Poultry production monitoring

Read aloud

In order to facilitate trade, there are marketing standards for poultrymeat. They are intended to make the market more transparent. They shall apply to certain categories of poultrymeat from chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and guinea fowl. Within the EU, this poultry meat may only be marketed which complies with these standards and has not undergone any treatment other than refrigeration.

Who should I contact?

The responsibility lies with the Lower Saxony State Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety.

Violations of the applicable legislation will be punishable by warnings or fines. Where appropriate, consideration shall also be given to withdrawing the registration of the holding for the production of poultry from special farming arrangements.
