You get 100% usable product in your shipment of Gold Shield™! It’s like getting 5% more product every time when you factor in the waste of regular chicken fat!

Salmonella CANNOT grow in Gold Shield Refined Chicken fat, because we have removed the feed source for Salmonella. The FDA will appreciate the far fewer safety issues.

Some manufacturers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars annually on unscheduled maintenance because of line clogs and additional tank cleanings. Not Gold Shield Refined Chicken Fat customers!

Product quality and brand integrity are buzz words to many manufacturers. Our customers are committed to using the very best product available.
