McDonald's plans to reduce antibiotics in chicken
"Starting in 2018, we will begin implementing a new broiler chicken antibiotics policy in markets around the world1, which will require the elimination of antibiotics defined by the WHO as Highest Priority Critically Important (“HPCIA”) to human medicine," the press release said.
As of January 2018, McDonald's will eliminate HPCIAs in broiler chicken from Brazil, Canada, Japan, South Korea, the US, and Europe. And towards the end of 2019, the food American franchise will target eliminating HPCIAs from Australia and Russia.
McDonald's estimates that by 2027, all HPCIAs will be eliminated from its food chains around the world.
“Our goal is to have this policy implemented before this date,” McDonald's said in its policy update.
