Fast Food Chains Get Failing Grades for Antibiotic Use in Meat Supplies

Several major fast food chains including Burger King, Starbucks, and Domino's received an "F" grade for continuing to use antibiotics in their meat supplies.

Chick-fil-A announced it will no longer serve 100% antibiotic-free chicken starting in 2024, backtracking on previous commitments.

Wendy's has committed to phasing out medically-important antibiotics in its beef supply by 2030.

Over 700,000 antibiotic-resistant infections occur annually in the U.S., a number that continues to rise.

Consumer demand for antibiotic-free meat has pushed some chains to change policies, but many major chains still use antibiotics regularly.
