Tyson Foods is reportedly planning to add polyether ionic carrier antibiotics to the feed of some chickens. This non-human antibiotic is used to prevent and suppress coccidiosis in poultry. The World Health Organization considers the antibiotic not medically useful for treating human disease.
In a statement provided by Tyson Foods, the company said the move would involve drugs that are “not important” to human health and would apply to all fresh, frozen and ready-made chicken products under the Tyson brand.
