Perdue Debuts Chicken Feed for Humans Called ‘Chix Mix’

Perdue just created a chicken feed — for human consumption.

The company’s new limited-edition snack, “Chix Mix,” is “made from most of the same ingredients” that the company feeds its chickens, which is an all-vegetarian diet of corn, wheat, and edamame, according to a company press release.

A free bag of the new snack, which has been enhanced with BBQ flavoring, can be ordered on PerdueChixMix.com starting on November 17 at 12 p.m. EST. while supplies last.
