WORLD WORLDWIDE US USA - care2PETITIONS - Urgent: Chick-Fil-A plans to pump its chicken full of antibiotics

 

Companies must be held responsible for keeping us safe. Chick-Fil-A Promised to Never Give Its Chickens Antibiotics That Can Harm Consumers. Now, It's Going Back on Its Word And Putting Our Health At Risk.      Sign Now      Dear friends,   Every day, we entrust our safety to the companies and manufacturers that produce the goods we rely on. From cars to toothpaste and everything in between, we expect our products to meet rigorous safety standards. And that definitely goes for the companies making our food. Their products go in our bodies, and are meant to fuel and nourish us, not put our health at risk.   Despite this important responsibility, Chick-Fil-A has decided to start giving its chickens antibiotics! This goes back on a decade-long promise to never put people's health on the line like this.   The use of antibiotics in livestock presents a serious threat to public health. When animals are routinely administered antibiotics (often to make them grow rapidly, driving up profits), it increases the risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. These bacteria can contaminate food products during processing. When people are exposed to antibiotic-resistant bacteria in their food, it increases risk of longer, worse infections and even death!   Chick-Fil-A must uphold its commitment to consumer safety and animal welfare. Sign this petition and join us in urging Chick-Fil-A to reverse this harmful decision and keep antibiotics out of our food! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Chick-Fil-A has kept its chickens free of antibiotics since 2014. Now, it's going back on that promise. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
