Chick-fil-A Will Start Serving Chicken Treated With Antibiotics. On its website, the fast food chain said that "serving quality food has always been our priority," but beginning in spring 2024, the company will "shift from No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to No Antibiotics Important To Human Medicine (NAIHM)". "NAIHM restricts the use of those antibiotics that are important to human medicine and commonly used to treat people, and allows use of animal antibiotics only if the animal and those around it were to become sick." Chick-fil-A previously pledged "no antibiotics ever" for more than a decade. The change in policy comes amid projected supply shortages, ABC News reports. Chick-fil-A highlighted its pledge to use high-quality chicken, saying that it only uses "real, white breast meat with no added fillers, artificial preservatives, steroids -- and no added hormones". "We established an Animal Wellbeing Council of outside experts, which provides feedback on our policies and practices.", Chick-fil-A, via statement. "With their input, we are constantly evaluating our approach to animal wellbeing to ensure it is consistent with or exceeds industry standards.", Chick-fil-A, via statement.
