McDonald’s To Cut Antibiotics In Its Beef
(Chicago, IL) — McDonald’s is announcing plans to rid its beef from antibiotics. The Chicago-based restaurant chain says it’s working with ten of its top beef sourcing markets to measure and understand the usage of those antibiotics which are said to be important to human health. According to restaurant officials, McDonald’s believes antibiotics are important, but a problem lies when they’re given to animals because it can lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria and drug-resistant infections in humans that consume the animals. After consulting with those markets which includes the U.S., McDonald’s says it will set reduction goals by the end of 2020 based on that research, and in 2022 will start reporting its progress in reaching those targets.
