Why is protein so important?

Our Birds Eye Chicken products are all a great source of protein, and protein is one of the key nutrients we need to consume in our diets. It not only provides energy- providing 4kcal per gram- but is also a key contributor to the maintenance of muscle mass and normal bones. Therefore, protein is essential for growth, maintenance and repair of the body.
Although the Reference Intake (RI) for protein is set at 50g/day, individual protein needs are determined by a number of factors, notably body weight. We all need to make sure we consume enough good quality protein for health.

How do Birds Eye chicken products fit into a balanced teatime meal?

Simply, a balanced teatime meal should comprise of 3 key components- vegetables, starchy carbohydrates, and a protein source. Our Birds Eye chicken products can, therefore, be combined with a number of interesting vegetables and carbohydrates to create numerous balanced teatime meals. Here are a couple of balanced teatime meal examples for inspiration: 
- Birds Eye Original Chicken Chargrill, in a seeded wrap, with half fat crème fraiche spread, filled with grilled peppers, grilled onions and mixed leaves

What's in our Chicken?

Do you really use 100% Chicken Breast in your products?
Yes, we only use chicken breast meat in our products. We do not use other cuts such as the leg or thigh.

Why does the pack say made with 100% chicken, but on the ingredients say less than 100%
The % chicken stated in the ingredients list is the proportion of chicken in the complete product. The rest is the other ingredients such as the breadcrumbs and fillings which may our chicken products so tasty.

Are they any artificial colourings, flavours or preservatives in Birds Eye Chicken?
There are no artificial colour or flavours in any of our chicken products and because they are frozen we do not need to add any preservatives. The only preservatives are those associated with traditional ingredients such as the cured ham in Inspirations Chicken with a Creamy Cheese & Ham Sauce.

Traceability and Welfare

Are there any nasties in the chicken?
Our chickens do not undergo routine antibiotics to artificially promote growth.

How are your chickens treated?
Our Chickens are all barn reared and can roam freely – never in cages.

How do you know where your chicken comes from?
Because our quality standard covers every step of the food production chain, We can trace all our chicken right back to where the eggs were hatched and even to the farm where the parent birds laid the eggs.

What do you feed your chickens?
We do not use any GM ingredients in our products – we only use quality, ingredients from sustainable sources. Our chickens are fed a diet of soya, wheat and corn and we can trace all our feed back to where it was grown.
