Fast-food chains are reportedly falling short on their pledges to reduce antibiotics in beef supply chains. CLF’s @meghandavisdvm.bsky.social notes true prevention means using antibiotics only in response to a documented on-farm risk, not as routine practice. www.thenewlede.org/2026/08/majo...

Major fast food chains may still be sourcing beef raised with antibiotics, report asserts
Food health advocates say that failed commitments from fast food chains to reduce the use of antibiotics in their beef supply poses a serious threat to public health, putting Americans at risk of antibiotic-resistant infections.
