BIO CHICKEN
The term organic (BIO) speaks for itself; however, within the EU there are different interpretations of what constitutes organic chicken. In France, the standards are very clear. A French organic (BIO) chicken is always a slow-growing breed. A day-old chick becomes organic once it is placed on an organic farm.
