This product was originally Certified JAS Organic, but is temporarily being offered without this certification. Due to a shortage of the usual certified feed, the chickens were fed with an alternate feed. Rest assured that the alternate feed also meets organic standards and is completely safe and worry-free. This product continues to be certified organic in New Zealand. We apologize for any concern this temporary change may cause, and we thank you for your understanding.
Note that organic chicken meat tends to have red or brown coloring around the bones even after cooking. This is not blood, rather it is proteins called myoglobin and hemoglobin which are predominantly found in healthy free-range chicken that exercise and move a lot. There are no safety or quality concerns. Brining the chicken 24h prior to cooking in a salt solution helps reduce the visual impact.
You get 500g of organic chicken wings, known as tebasaki in Japan. Chicken wings are an all-time classic. Whether you like to cover them in bbq sauce, a homemade seasoning, or just a little sea salt and freshly ground pepper, chicken wings are always welcomed.
Free-range, open pasture-raised certified organic chicken from New Zealand. Naturally and sustainably slow-grown with love and care on certified organic apple orchards in Hawke's Bay.
