Is Tyson's Antibiotic-Free Chicken Really Antibiotic-Free? |
A
federal judge has ordered Tyson Foods to withdraw advertisements
claiming its chickens are “raised without antibiotics that impact
antibiotic resistance in humans.”
Two competitors said the ads were untrue because Tyson injects it eggs with antibiotics and used antibiotic molecules in its feed. Tyson maintained that its claim was truthful, and intends to appeal the decision. “The claim we’re making is ‘raised without.’ And our consumer research would say that ‘raised without’ in the consumer’s mind, is from hatchery to when they buy the chicken in the store,” said Dave Hogberg, senior vice president for consumer products at Tyson.
