Is Tyson's Antibiotic-Free Chicken Really Antibiotic-Free?
A federal judge has ordered Tyson Foods to withdraw advertisements claiming its chickens are “raised without antibiotics that impact antibiotic resistance in humans.”

Two competitors said the ads were untrue because Tyson injects it eggs with antibiotics and used antibiotic molecules in its feed.

Tyson maintained that its claim was truthful.

“The claim we’re making is ‘raised without.’ And our consumer research would say that ‘raised without’ in the consumer’s mind, is from hatchery to when they buy the chicken in the store,” said Dave Hogberg, senior vice president for consumer products at Tyson.

Another big company lieing to the general public. What a shame.

The egg is injected with antibiotics. It has antibiotics in it.

The chick hatchs and eats antibiotic feed. The chick has antibiotics in it.

The chicken gets slaughtered. The chicken has antibiotics in it.

We eat chicken. We get antibiotics in us!

Sorry to point out the obvious, but it was just nagging me!

" It is surprising how some people look at a backward state like
Arkansas,
and yet do not wonder about the so-called great fortunes headquartered
there. Tyson Chickens. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and all their
subsidiaries,
and J.B. Hunt Transport Services,
Inc."

Savory chicken business:

Did you say "another knockout"???????

Tyson ain't the only culprit out  there, just happens they are the one that got caught, there are many, many more out there only time will tell......
Most of the bigger organisations are concerned with the bottom line and pleasing their share holders, so cutting corners are not new to them......Stick to the local guy you can trust and you can't go wrong, work with them if need be........

It seems to me that this is another case of definitions, like it depends on what definition of the word "is" is.
This is so sad that walking in integrity is close to obsolete!  It is hard to find people who will stand and speak Truth.
