Shake Shack is offering free chicken sandwiches on Sundays in April, seemingly taking a dig at Chick-fil-A's closed-on-Sunday policy and recent decision to shift away from antibiotic-free chicken. The promotion highlights Shake Shack's antibiotic-free chicken and requires a $10 minimum order using the code CHICKENSUNDAY. Chick-fil-A cited supply concerns for their switch from antibiotic-free chicken, while Shake Shack is emphasizing their commitment to antibiotic-free chicken with this promotion.
Chick-fil-A will no longer serve antibiotic-free chicken, shifting to No Antibiotics Important To Human Medicine (NAIHM) from No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) starting in the Spring of 2024 due to supply concerns. The change allows the use of animal antibiotics only if the animal and those around it were to become sick. This decision follows similar moves by Panera Bread and Tyson Foods to reintroduce certain antibiotics to their supply chains.
Chick-fil-A is set to shift from antibiotic-free chicken to "No Antibiotics Important To Human Medicine" (NAIHM) due to supply concerns, with the change expected to roll out in the spring of 2024. This move comes after the company had previously committed to serving antibiotic-free chicken at all its chain restaurants in 2019. The decision follows similar shifts by other food chains like Panera Bread and Tyson Foods, citing limitations in their supply chain options.
