As we edge closer and closer to Christmas, many British shoppers will be looking to find the perfect turkey for their festive spread.
However, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued new advice to consumers about the state their meat will be in this winter. According to the government department, shoppers may notice that turkey, duck, capon, or goose products may come with the label 'defrosted'.
This is because a temporary change will be brought in on November 28 to December 31 where many poultry products, excluding chicken, will have been previously frozen and defrosted before being placed on sale. It comes amid fears present in the poultry in tackling bird flu.
