McDonald's to eliminate antibiotics in chicken products

It will begin implementing a new broiler chicken antibiotics policy in 2018.

According to a McDonald’s Global spokesperson, “McDonald’s has a global vision to source all of our food and packaging responsibly and sustainably. That’s why, we’ve been working with suppliers, academic advisors, scientists, and non-governmental organizations on our chicken sustainability efforts to evolve with customers’ tastes and preferences.”

Starting 2018, the company will begin implementing a new broiler chicken antibiotics policy in certain markets outside the U.S., which will require the elimination of antibiotics defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as Highest Priority Critically Important (HPCIA) to human medicine.

“This is a significant milestone in our food journey where we can achieve impactful change on a key societal issue.”
