CAS Humane Processing
Smart Chicken is the only chicken processor in the United States using CAS

Animal Welfare Standards

Our birds are raised by family farmers in America’s Heartland without the use of antibiotics or hormones and are never fed animal by-products. We are also Certified Humane* as well as Certified Organic. In 2005 Smart Chicken® pioneered the utilization of Controlled Atmosphere Stunning (CAS), becoming the first and only processor in the U.S. to welcome this technology. CAS is our commitment to you that each bird is handled with care in every stage of production from our free range farms to our production facility and beyond.
