The fast-food chain will transition to 'No Antibiotics Important To Human Medicine' standard in Spring 2024, sparking debate over ethical sourcing.

  • Chick-fil-A announces a shift from its 'No Antibiotics Ever' policy to 'No Antibiotics Important To Human Medicine' due to supply chain concerns, starting Spring 2024.

  • This change has sparked criticism and calls for boycotts from consumers and advocacy groups concerned about ethical sourcing and transparency.
  • The move aligns Chick-fil-A with industry trends, as other companies like Tyson Foods and Panera Bread have also revised their antibiotic policies.
