Abstract:
Given the
public health crisis a member of the U.S. Congress has invited companies’
manufacturer of products for fast food restaurants to talk about their methods
of manufacture.
Quotation:
« Companies and businesses that make and
sell fast food have been asked by a US Congresswoman to come clean about their
policies on antibiotics in meat.
Louise Slaughter - who is a microbiologist as well as a politician- has
written to more than 60 fast-food producers, processors and grocery chains,
requesting that they disclose how much of their meat is antibiotic-free and how
much is from animals routinely administered antibiotics.
"Very simply, customers have a right to know what is in their
food," she said.
"The US is facing a growing public health crisis in the form of
antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and information about how these companies are
contributing to its rise or resolution should be available to
consumers." »
