Beginning on October 1, more hospitals will have access to healthier, more sustainably produced chicken, thanks to an agreement between Premier healthcare alliance and Murray’s Chicken of South Fallsburg, N.Y.
Murray’s chicken is raised on Pennsylvania farms and processed in New York state. In addition to producing its chicken without the use of antibiotics and arsenic, Murray’s production methods have also been certified to meet the Humane Farm Animal Care Certified Humane Raised & Handled standards. Premier’s contract with Murray’s Chicken will make sustainably produced chicken more accessible and affordable not only to hospitals, but to other institutional Premier alliance members as well. Members will be able to access these products through U.S. Foodservice, Premier’s primary distributor.
