Chick-fil-A Reverses 'No Antibiotics' Pledge Due to Supply Shortages

Chick-fil-A is dropping its "no antibiotics ever" pledge for chicken due to supply concerns, adopting a less-stringent standard that allows the use of some antibiotics not important to human medicine. This move comes as sourcing antibiotic-free chicken becomes more difficult, with other major fast-food chains also adhering to similar rules. While relaxing antibiotic standards, Chick-fil-A maintains other quality standards for its chicken supply, such as using only real, white breast meat with no added fillers, artificial preservatives, or steroids.
