Tyson will once again use certain antibiotics in its chickens -- eight years after it announced plans to ditch the drugs in some of its production
The company said the antibiotics it plans to use in chicken production are not important to the treatment of humans. Antibiotic use in food has come under intense scrutiny in recent years as some bacteria have become increasingly resistant to treatments as a result of frequent exposure to antibiotics. The Wall Street Journal first reported Tyson’s change. About half of US poultry farmers use some form of antibiotics to help keep chickens healthy, the company noted.
” ‘No antibiotics important to human medicine’ Tyson’s elimination of some antibiotics followed similar reductions by competitors Pilgrim’s Pride, which says it uses some antibiotics, and Perdue, which still says it does not. Tyson is the largest poultry producer in the United States.
