The company has created “Chix Mix,” a new snack that is “made from most of the same ingredients” that’s in the company’s chicken feed. Instead, Chix Mix is designed as a marketing opportunity as the industry faces controversy about antibiotics in chicken feed and treatment of its animals. Chix Mix is similar: The snack contains corn, wheat puffs and edamame, but with a dash of barbecue spices “just for humans,” a release said.
