A survey conducted by TABS Group in early January 2011 determined that in a panel of 1,000 people aged 18-75, 13.4% said they bought organic chicken at some point in 2010, according to a foodnavigator-usa.com report.
Some 38%-39% of those surveyed said they had bought organic products of some sort in 2010. Other numbers included organic egg purchases (17% of those surveyed), organic milk (16% of those surveyed) and red meat (purchased by 6% of those surveyed).
This year was the first time organic chicken was included in the survey.
