Chick-fil-A announced that it will allow certain antibiotics in its chicken, reversing its commitment made in 2014. The change will take effect in spring 2024 and is intended to maintain the supply of high-quality chicken. The company stated that the allowed antibiotics are not important to human health and will only be administered if the animal and those around it become sick. The policy change is due to challenges in finding chicken supplies that meet the company's standards.
Other companies, such as Tyson Foods and Panera Bread, have also made similar changes to their antibiotic-free commitments
