Does Tyson Foods own the farms the chickens are raised on?
No, Tyson Foods contracts with farmers across the United States. Contract farming is the practice of farmers raising chickens under contract for poultry processing companies. Tyson Foods has been working with poultry farmers on a contract basis since the late 1940s and it has been a relationship that has worked well for both the company and the farmer.

How does Tyson Foods ensure farmers are adhering to humane animal welfare practices?
In October 2012, Tyson launched our FarmCheck® program. Through this program, we ensure the chickens at poultry farms that supply chickens to Tyson are always raised responsibly and verified by a 3rd-party auditor. The FarmCheck® program audits are conducted by joint efforts between Tyson Foods experts in our Office of Animal Well-Being and independent 3rd-party auditing firms. The FarmCheck® program is guided by an external Animal Well-Being Advisory Panel established by Tyson Foods and made up of the best specialists in animal welfare. Those serving on the panel include people with expertise in farm-animal behavior, health, production, and ethics. In addition, best‐practice system assessments and animal‐handling audits are implemented in all of our chicken, beef, pork and turkey plants, as well as in our chicken hatcheries. This includes a combination of daily, weekly, or monthly handling and well‐being audits conducted by plant management, members of our Food Safety and Quality Assurance teams, or third‐party groups. Each year we publish a list of the third‐party plant audits in our sustainability report. To learn more, please visit our Sustainability Report.
Where can I learn more about your sustainability and animal welfare practices?
Tyson is part of the Tyson Foods family of brands. Tyson Foods works with a wide range of professionals, academic institutions, and industry groups to advance animal agricultural research and best practices for animal welfare throughout the supply chain.
