Marking yet another milestone in its unwavering commitment towards providing trusted, hygienic, fresh, and quality chicken famous for its ‘green’ label, New Anthoney’s Farms became the first poultry producer in Sri Lanka to obtain the prestigious internationally recognized FSSC 22000 certification.
This achievement reflects well on how New Anthoney’s Farms strives to not just uphold but go beyond the norm to ensure that consumers enjoy the safest chicken available out there in the market.
By adopting FSSC 22000 certification, the company sets a new industry benchmark and marks a significant stride in ensuring the highest standards of quality, safety, and sustainability in the poultry industry, and now invites other poultry producers to follow suit to enhance quality and build trust and resilience in the entire supply chain.

SGS Lanka played a pivotal role for New Anthoney’s Farms in attaining this certification.
Customers can now be confident in their choice of Anthoney’s products, knowing they adhere to the highest standards of quality and safety. The FSSC 22000 certification not only elevates the brand domestically but also facilitates increased exports, expanding the reach of New Anthoney’s Farms to international markets.
