What is sous vide?
Sous vide is a cooking method that provides perfectly tender and delicious chicken. It is used to make CHEF’S CRAFT® Flame Grilled Chicken Breast Fillets.

-
Is your chicken non-GMO?
CHEF’S CRAFT® chicken is not genetically modified; however, our chickens are fed a vegetarian diet, which includes corn that has been genetically modified. Why? Since more than 80% of corn grown in the United States is raised from genetically modified seeds most animal feed contains GMO ingredients. According to the National Chicken Council, there is no nutritional difference between chickens fed a GMO diet and chickens fed a non-GMO diet, and it does not create any food safety or nutrition concerns.

-
Are CHEF’S CRAFT® Gourmet gluten free, breaded, Chicken Breast Chunks with Rib Meat made in a gluten free facility? Are they Beyond Celiac certified?
No, this product is not made in a gluten free facility and is not Beyond Celiac certified. However, this and all CHEF’S CRAFT® gluten free products are made in a processing facility that is inspected by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) and follows BRCGS gluten-free protocols. This means we must consistently prove that our processes are strictly controlled to effectively prevent contact with ingredients containing gluten.
Consistently meeting these standards is what allows us to label specific CHEF’S CRAFT® Gourmet products “gluten free.”
