have ties to farms and meat-packing firms that are using dangerous antibiotics. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism andobtained unpublished government records that tied the three chains to beef suppliers that still use antibiotics considered 'highest priority critically important' to human health or HP-CIAs.
and to call the use a major contributor to this deadly public health threat, built on maximizing profit over human health., 10 of the biggest meat packers had evidence of these HP-CIAs, with some using as high as seven. JBS, which sells to Wendy's and Taco Bell, was found to have the highest at seven. Cargill, the company that sells to McDonald's was found to have five. And, the study says, there were other antibiotics found that weren't considered HP-CIAs.
