fleischwirtschaft.com — USA, Vancouver, Wash. Papa Murphy's Holdings, Inc. announced that all of its more than 1,500 stores in the USA are serving chicken raised without antibiotics across its entire menu. While national restaurants across the country have talked about serving chicken raised without antibiotics, few to date have done it. Papa Murphy's is the first and only national pizza brand to serve chicken raised without antibiotics.

The company was recognized for its dedication to serving superior quality ingredients over other pizza chains in January 2016, when it was named best in food quality among quick serve restaurants by Technomic. As part of the company's dedication to food quality, it is also making a commitment to remove artificial flavors and colors from its menu by 2017 and is currently working to eliminate palm oil and high fructose corn syrup from menu items, a move that will be complete by fall 2016. The company's menu does not include monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Papa Murphy's Holdings, Inc. is a franchisor and operator of a large pizza brand in the USA, selling fresh, hand-crafted pizzas ready for customers to bake at home. The company was founded in 1981 and currently operates more than 1,500 franchised and corporate-owned fresh pizza stores in 38 States, Canada and United Arab Emirates.
