Chick-fil-A announces changes to its chicken. Here's why and when

Описание: (WXIA) Chick-fil-A announced Friday that it will soon be making a slight change with its famous chicken.

The Atlanta-based fast-food chain said it will shift from a No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to No Antibiotics Important to Human Medicine (NAIHM) starting this spring in order to "maintain supply of the high-quality-chicken you expect from us."

Customers who have the Chick-fil-A app downloaded got a memo from the restaurant letting its loyal patrons know about the new change. On its website, Chick-fil-A explained that NAE chicken means that no antibiotics were ever used in raising the animal.

However, they explain that NAIHM "restricts the use of those antibiotics that are important to human medicine and commonly used to treat people, and allows use of animal antibiotics only if the animal and those around it were to become sick."

Livestock producers have long used antibiotics to boost rapid weight gain in animals such as chickens, pigs, cows and sheep, improving the profitability of their businesses. Over the past decade, however, many nations, including the United States, have begun to restrict the practice as evidence mounted that it was contributing to drug resistance and reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics against disease in humans.
