drobiowy

Drobiowy is a Polish adjective meaning “of poultry” or “poultry-related.” It is used to describe meat, products, and activities connected with domestic fowl raised for food, such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese. In everyday and technical language it appears in phrases such as mięso drobiowe (poultry meat), produkty drobiowe (poultry products), and przemysł drobiowy (poultry industry). The term serves as a general descriptor across production, processing, retail, and agricultural policy.

Usage and regulation: In commerce, drobiowy labels indicate ingredients or origin from poultry, helping distinguish from pork or beef. The poultry sector covers breeding, hatcheries, feed, farming, slaughtering, processing, and distribution. Safety and quality standards for drobiowe products are governed by national law and EU regulations, including animal health, welfare, hygiene, and traceability. Producers typically follow HACCP-based systems and labeling requirements that may specify species (chicken, turkey, duck, goose), age, and production method.

Origin and related terms: The base noun drób refers to poultry in Polish; drobiowy is its adjectival form. Related terms include handel drobiowy (poultry trade), produkcja drobiowa (poultry production), and mięso drobiowe. In culinary contexts, drobiowy may appear on menus or recipes to denote poultry-based ingredients or dishes.
