Chick-Fil-A says it will embrace a standard known as 'no antibiotics important to human medicine,' which entails avoidance of such medicines commonly used to treat people and limits the use of animal antibiotics to cases of animal illness.
The pledge intended to help prevent human antibiotic resistance linked to the rampant use of the drugs in livestock production.Livestock producers have long used antibiotics to boost rapid weight gain in animals, improving the profitability of their businesses.backtracked from its decade-old "no antibiotics ever" pledge intended to help prevent human antibiotic resistance linked to the rampant use of the drugs in livestock production.
Instead, the company said in a statement that it will embrace a standard known as "no antibiotics important to human medicine," often abbreviated as NAIHM, which entails the avoidance of medications commonly used to treat people and limits the use of animal antibiotics to cases of actual animal illness.
Livestock producers have long used antibiotics to boost rapid weight gain in animals such as chickens, pigs, cows and sheep, improving the profitability of their businesses. Over the past decade, however, many nations, including the United States, have begun to restrict the practice as evidence mounted that it was contributing to drug resistance and reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics against disease in humans.Chick-Fil-A said it will begin shifting to the new policy in the spring of 2024.
In a May 2023 video featured on the Tyson Foods YouTube channel, Tyson's senior director of animal welfare, Karen Christensen, described the shift as "based on scientific research and industry learnings." She noted that Tyson planned to begin using antibiotics known as ionophores, which don't play a role in human medicine, to "improve the overall health and welfare of the birds in our care." Ionophores have long been used to promote growth in livestock.
