Even Better Animal Welfare—With Strong Danish Values and Roots

A slower-growing breed of chicken • Raised, slaughtered, and produced in Denmark • Raised without antibiotics* • Longer lifespan • More space

Danish animal welfare—all the way from the chicken to the kitchen.

A good meal begins long before the chicken reaches your plate.
It starts with care for the chicken, its well-being, and the way it’s raised.
Sødam’s chickens are all of a slow-growing breed that we helped develop ourselves. At select Danish farms, they are given more time to grow, more space to move around, and better opportunities to express their natural behaviors.

We carry that care all the way to the kitchen. That’s why Sødam’s entire product line is certified under the Danish Heart Scheme for animal welfare. This means that all products meet the scheme’s requirements for rearing, space, and well-being. Whether you choose fresh, Frozen, or convenience products, you’ll get high-quality Danish chicken with documented animal welfare standards.

With Sødam on the menu, professional kitchens can serve high-quality Danish chicken with pride and a clear conscience—and with a story about the chicken that’s worth sharing with guests.

For us, it’s all connected. How the chicken thrives. The ingredients you receive in the kitchen. And the meal you serve to your guests. Because ultimately, it’s about being able to serve a great meal with care every step of the way—from chicken to guest.

DANISH CHICKENS

Our Danish chickens from Sødam are slower-growing breeds that live a life with good animal welfare.

Our chickens with 1 & 2 animal welfare hearts lead a calm and comfortable life. They grow up in clean and familiar surroundings. The chickens have free access to nutritious feed and clean water around the clock, so they can choose for themselves when to eat and drink. For chicks with a 2-heart animal welfare rating, there are toys inside the coop to keep them entertained. This way, we ensure that our chicks are happy.

All the chicks are of a slow-growing breed and are raised without the use of antibiotics. They grow at their natural pace, which improves their quality of life and makes them stronger and healthier.
