Five Fast-Food Chains That Still Use Antibiotics in Their Meat
The CDC reports it's important to avoid "unnecessary use of antibiotics" in agriculture to slow antibiotic resistance that can result in "superbugs" in humans.
While some fast-food establishments have eliminated antibiotics entirely, 'Eat This, Not That!' reports that these 5 restaurants continue to use the meat of antibiotic-treated animals.
1. Five Guys: In 2018, the burger chain received an "F" in Consumer Reports' annual Chain Reaction report regarding its antibiotics policies.
2. Dairy Queen: While the restaurant limits antibiotics in its chicken supply, it does not publicly hold
beef or pork to the same standards.
3. Taco Bell: With similar policies as Dairy Queen, Taco Bell received a "D" in the 2021 Chain Reaction report.
4. Burger King: Like the two named before it, Burger King has minimal antibiotics policies when it comes to chicken, but not beef or pork.
5. Domino's: The world's largest pizza chain also follows suit with its chicken vs. beef and pork policies. However, the chain announced its intention to switch to antibiotic-free beef and pork eventually, but it hasn't given a more specific time frame.
