Tyson Foods will no longer use its "no antibiotics ever" label on chicken packaging, as the company plans to reintroduce certain antibiotics in its chicken production. The antibiotics used will not be important for human treatment, and Tyson claims that its decision is based on sound science and the well-being of animals.
