Guest Quote:
“We have 100% testing of all commercial poultry produced in the United States for food. No other country has the resources or the lab structure to pull that off. We’ve had a lot of countries come in to look at what we do, but they just can’t replicate it. So, if you’re trying to prove the absence of something, testing 100% of the population, I mean you can’t get any better than that." - Don Ritter, DVM
