CHECKLIST TITLE: POULTRY PROCESSING

DEFINITIONS
ANITBIOTIC-FREE-Designation that refers to a product that has no inclusion of antibiotics at any stage of its production process.
BREAST QUARTER – Half a breast, a wing, and a portion of the back.
BROILER/FRYER (WOG) – Young chickens of either sex (typically male) which are slaughtered within 6 to 10 weeks of age after
their slaughter weight has reached between 1.5 to 3.5 pounds. Broilers are usually prepared by broiling beneath direct heat, flame or
over glowing coals.
BROTH – Liquids resulting from cooking poultry in water. Examples are chicken or turkey broth.
CAGE-FREE-Birds that were not kept in cages. They were free to walk around the hen house , to perch on roosts, and lay eggs in
nests. Cage-free does not denote anything about feed or other physical care of the birds.
CAPON – Male chickens that are castrated at about 1 ¾ pounds and then allowed to grow to a desired weight before being
slaughtered. Caponizing renders male chickens capable of quicker growth (lowering feed costs) and results in superior flesh quality.
Capons are typically used in the home as roasting chickens.
CHICK – Newly hatched chicken of either sex.
CHILL PACKED CHICKEN – Chicken that is typically packaged for retail sale and is kept chilled (not frozen through) by
mechanical refrigeration between the packing plant to the store counter. The chicken is kept chilled between 26 to 28 degrees
Fahrenheit on the outside which allows the inside of the chicken to be between 32 and 43 degrees Farenheit making thawing and
preparation easier for consumers, as the chicken is not frozen through.
COCKEREL – Any male chicken less than a year old. These could be either broiler/fryers or roasters as desired. Most are
slaughtered within 6 to 10 weeks.
CORNISH GAME HEN – Young, immature chicken derived from an English breed of chicken raised chiefly for crossing with other
breeds to produce roasters. Usually processed at five to six weeks of age and not weighing more than two pounds ready-to-cook
weight. Not to be confused with egg producing hens (spent hens).
CRYOGENIC VACUUM PACKED – Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas or liquid nitrogen is used to lower the temperature of the fowl, the
fowl is then placed into a plastic bag which has the air vacuumed from it and then sealed. This is different than DRY ICE PACKED
(carbon dioxide packed) which uses solidified blocks of CO2 as the refrigerant.
CUTLET - Slices from a whole muscle tissue. Turkey breast cutlets are an example.
CWT (Hundredweight) - A unit of measurement for weight used in certain commodities trading contracts. In North America, a
hundredweight is equal to 100 pounds and is also known as a short hundredweight. In Britain, a hundredweight is 112 pounds and is
also known as a long hundredweight.
DRUMETTE – The meaty upper part of a wing (not a whole wing). They begin as whole wings, which are then cut at the joint.
FREE RANGE POULTRY – A designation that means the bird was allowed to roam free outdoors, which may have a positive effect
on the flavor of the poultry.
FRESH CHICKEN – The word fresh on the label of a chicken product indicates that the product has never been chilled or cooled
below 26 degrees Fahrenheit.
FROZEN SELF BASTING – The poultry is injected with ingredients such as juices, oils, and seasonings before being frozen. When
roasted the extra ingredients keep the meat moist and tender and provide extra flavor.
FROZEN TURKEY – Turkey that must be cooled to a temperature of 0 degrees Farenheit or colder even though turkey freezes at 26
degrees Fahrenheit. HARD CHILLED TURKEY is turkey which has been frozen to between 0 degrees and 26 degrees Farenheit.
FRESH TURKEY is turkey which has never been allowed to be cooled to a temperature lower than 26 degrees Farenheit.

CHECKLIST TITLE: POULTRY PROCESSING

GIBLETS – The edible viscera of a fowl. These would include things like the heart, liver, gizzard, i.e. internal organs of a fowl often
cooked separately.
GMO-FREE- Designation that a product does not contain any genetically modified organism (GMO) ingredients. Foods or food
ingredients that have been altered at the gene level are referred to as being genetically modified organisms.
GRADE (QUALITY) – These are designations assigned by the USDA to poultry meat. Grades A, B, and C are examples. The
grades are based on appearance (lack of defects, i.e. damaged flesh or missing parts) of the product primarily. Grade A is by far the
most common as lower grades are less likely to be sold.
HEN – Female chickens that have reached sexual maturity and are most often used as egg layers. They are typically more than one
year old. Female chickens must mature for between four to six months from birth, before being able to lay eggs. They are then
productive for another 12 to 18 months of egg laying before being slaughtered. Hens may continue to lay eggs for as long as 4 to 5
years but after the first year the rate is considerably reduced and the usual practice is only to keep them for about 1.5 years.
INDIVIDUALLY QUICK FROZEN (IQF) – Using cryogenic equipment, products are frozen so fast that the juices in the meats are
not allowed to form large ice crystals and damage the flavor, juiciness, and tenderness of the meat. Both raw and cooked products
