Turi Foods has two poultry processing plants.
Built in 1977 and acquired by Turi Foods in 2009, our plant at Breakwater, Geelong produces the Golden Farms brand of chicken which is mainly distributed through major supermarkets such as Woolworths and Coles, independent supermarkets such as IGA and Foodworks, Quick Service Restaurants such as KFC, Red Rooster and Nandos, as well as many other chicken outlets. Golden Farms employs 390 people in a traditional Australian chicken processing plant.
The La Ionica and Bannockburn brands are processed at our plant in Thomastown, Victoria. This plant is based on the European method of “air chilling”. This process results in a low scald bird which is processed chemically free. This facility supplies mainly charcoal chicken outlets and specialty chicken stores and distributors. 350 people are employed at the Thomastown plant over two daily shifts.
Each of our processing plants is registered and regularly audited by Primesafe Victoria and approved for export.
