The poultry industry, along with Bord Bia, yesterday launched the inaugural campaign to increase public awareness of the quality assurance scheme.
A recent Bord Bia tracking study undertaken by Milward Brown IMS with 1,200 grocery shoppers showed that origin is a major influence when it comes to buying chicken.
Eight out of 10 shoppers surveyed indicated a preference for chicken with the Bord Bia quality mark.
The Irish consumer on average will eat 29kg of chicken a year.
About 65% of all chicken is purchased at retail level with the remaining 35% consumed in the food service sector.
