Chicken meat quality in the Nizhny Novgorod region is a concern: salmonella and listeria have been detected.

The region's main MEAT producers are the Pavlovskaya and Lindovskaya poultry farms, but the latter is facing financial difficulties. Grigoryev noted that chicken prices rose between 2022 and 2024, which had a positive impact on production modernization.

Irina Petrova, DIRECTOR of the Nizhny Novgorod branch of the All-Russian Research Institute of Animal HEALTH, reported that in 2025, 10 cases of sanitary violations related to the presence of salmonella and listeria, as well as antibacterial agents, were identified. To choose safe meat , experts recommend carefully checking the packaging, expiration date, and other product characteristics.
