The Do Good Foods Carbon Reduced Chicken is a more sustainable take on conventional chicken products that's arriving now for shoppers to pick up. The chicken used for the product is raised with upcycled feed that's nutrient-dense and sourced from grocery store surplus food. This gives the chicken a decidedly more eco-friendly profile for shoppers to appreciate and also prevents three-pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.
Co-CEO and Co-Founder Justin Kamine spoke on the Do Good Foods Carbon Reduced Chicken saying, "Food waste is a massive problem with approximately 40% of the food we grow in the U.S. going to waste. We believe this can be solved with what we are doing at Do Good Foods by upcycling surplus grocery food, creating a closed loop system, and providing accessible great tasting chicken to consumers. We are bringing real sustainability to scale and empowering everyone to be a part of the solution."
