Chick-fil-A to Allow Some Antibiotics in Chicken Supply Starting 2024

• Chick-fil-A to change its "No Antibiotics Ever" chicken policy to allow animal antibiotics, but not ones used to treat humans

• Previous policy barred any antibiotic use; new policy goes into effect Spring 2024

• Difficulty obtaining enough antibiotic-free chicken was a factor in policy change

• Chick-fil-A sold over 500 million chicken sandwiches in 2022

• Consumer health risk from antibiotics in chicken is promoting drug-resistant bacteria, not direct harm
