Why Ontario Restaurants Are Switching to D&D Poultry for Their Chicken Supply

In thirty years of supplying Ontario’s food service industry, we’ve heard a version of the same story many times. A restaurant owner is frustrated by inconsistent product quality, unreliable delivery, or certifications that don’t hold up when an inspection comes around. They try D&D Poultry. Six months later, they wonder why they waited.

We’re not the biggest name in food service distribution. But for independent restaurants, banquet halls, catering companies, and institutional kitchens across Ontario, we’ve become the most trusted one.

HACCP-Certified Since 2006 — Not a Credential, a Way of Working

D&D Poultry has been HACCP-certified since 2006. That’s not a selling point we dust off when someone asks — it’s built into how every single product leaves our Toronto facility Every batch. Every time. Temperature logs, sanitation protocols, full traceability from receiving to shipping. If a public health inspector asks your chicken supplier for documentation, we have it ready.

Halal-Certified for Ontario’s Diverse Market

Ontario’s restaurant market is one of the most culturally diverse in the world. For many food service operators — especially those serving communities across the GTA — halal certification isn’t optional. Our chicken is halal-certified across our full product line, with complete documentation available on request.

Three Generations. One Standard.

Kostas and Anastasia Dikeos came to Canada from Greece and built D&D Poultry from the ground up.
