Chick-Fil-A Reverses No-Antibiotics Pledge, Citing Supply Shortages

Chick-Fil-A backtracks from its "no antibiotics ever" pledge, opting for a new policy of "no antibiotics important to human medicine" due to projected supply shortages, following in the footsteps of Tyson Foods, which reintroduced some antibiotics to its chicken production in 2022. This move reflects concerns about acquiring sufficient supplies of antibiotic-free chicken and the livestock industry's shift away from antibiotic-free production.

Chick-fil-A Reverses Antibiotic-Free Chicken Pledge, Citing Supply Shortages

Chick-Fil-A is abandoning its "no antibiotics ever" pledge and shifting to a policy that limits the use of antibiotics important to human medicine in its chicken supply chain, citing concerns about acquiring enough antibiotic-free chicken. This move follows similar actions by Tyson Foods, which reintroduced some antibiotics to its chicken production, citing scientific research and industry learnings. Livestock producers have historically used antibiotics to promote growth in animals, but concerns about antibiotic resistance and human health have led to increased restrictions on their use.
