Chick-fil-A says it will serve only chicken raised without antibiotics within the next five years.
February 12/Atlanta/CBS -- Chick-fil-A says it will serve only chicken raised without antibiotics within the next five years.
The company’s announcement comes at a time of increased scrutiny over antibiotics in the U.S. meat supply. Antibiotics have traditionally been used in animal feed to fatten up poultry, cattle and livestock. In December, The Food and Drug Administration announced a plan to phase out antibiotics from meat production citing drug resistance fears, pointing out some of the medications are important for treating infectious diseases in humans.
