Tyson Drops "No Antibiotics Ever" Label for Chicken

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. The company will transition to a "no antibiotics important to human medicine" label by the end of 2023. This change marks a departure from Tyson's previous stance in 2015 when it aimed to eliminate antibiotics from its chicken production. The use of antibiotics in poultry farming has been a topic of concern due to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Tyson Workers Protest Unfair Conditions and Plant Closure in Van Buren, Arkansas

Dozens of people protested outside the Tyson meatpacking plant in Van Buren, Arkansas, against its planned closure on May 12. The plant employs nearly 1,000 people, and Tyson executives made the decision as part of their strategy of "optimizing operations and utilizing full available capacity at each plant." The closure is the largest in the River Valley since Whirpool shuttered its Fort Smith factory in 2012. Tyson is offering a $1,000 stay-on bonus for people who apply for other jobs at Tyson and offering relocation assistance. River Valley groups are planning to help workers losing their jobs learn new skills and build their resumes.
