Quick service giant McDonald’s has recently announced new initiatives to source chicken free of human antibiotics and milk from cows that have not been treated with the artificial growth hormone rbST in its 14,000 U.S. restaurants.

While human antibiotics will be phased out, the farms will still responsibly use ionophores, a chicken antibiotic to keep them healthy.
