Bairaha Farms PLC reaffirms its dedication to providing consumers with the highest quality, antibiotic-free chicken products, devoid of chemical, artificial additives, preservatives, or added hormones.

This commitment underscores Bairaha’s long-standing philosophy of delivering safe and superior nutrition, setting a benchmark for purity and food safety in the industry.

At Bairaha, the pursuit of wholesome goodness is at the core of every operation. The company employs advanced, non-chemical processing methods that prioritise consumer’s well-being and environmental responsibility.

Unlike conventional practices of the industry relying on harsh chemicals like chlorine for washing/rinsing the bird in processing while, Bairaha utilises Peracetic Acid (PAA), a highly effective and safer alternative for antimicrobial efficacy.

PAA boasts a superior ability to combat a broad spectrum of microorganisms, even at lower concentrations and in the presence of organic matter where chlorine’s effectiveness diminishes.

Crucially, PAA breaks down into non-toxic residues such as acetic acid, water, and oxygen, ensuring no harmful chlorinated by-products, like trihalomethanes are formed, making it inherently safer for food contact.

Furthermore, PAA is considerably less corrosive to equipment at working concentrations, minimising infrastructure wear and tear, and more importantly, it poses a significantly lower risk for worker exposure, as it does not release toxic gas under normal use, unlike chlorine.

These practices are not only aligned with Bairaha’s internal standards but are also widely recognised and accepted by international regulatory bodies, including the USDA and FDA, and by export markets that restrict chlorine use, such as the European Union.

By adhering to these rigorous standards and in being certified with ISO 22000, HACCP, and GMP, Bairaha Farms PLC continues to empower Sri Lankan households with chemical-free chicken with better taste and flavour reinforcing its position as a leader committed to health and purity.
