Date postedAugust 1, 2023
Ninety-five percent of consumers said that price per pound and overall price are more important or as important compared to a year ago when purchasing fresh chicken, according to research presented today at the 2023 Chicken Marketing Summit.

Circana provided supporting data from its retail databases. The results suggested several opportunities for chicken to maintain market share.
