Chick-fil-A Reverses Antibiotic-Free Chicken Policy Due to Supply Concerns

Chick-fil-A will start using some antibiotics in its chicken, reversing its 2014 decision to use none, and will now use "no antibiotics important to human medicine," but will use antibiotics intended for animals to treat sick chickens, beginning in spring of this year. The fast food company had previously gone antibiotic-free in 2014, aligning with similar pledges made by other chains, and it also stated that it does not use fillers, artificial preservatives, or hormones in its chicken.
