Tyson Loses Antibiotic Ad Suit

April 23, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
A Federal judge has stopped Tyson Foods from advertising that its poultry products do not contain antibiotics thought to lead to drug resistance in humans. The judge said the public is being misled by the "Raised Without Antibiotics" advertising, after Perdue Farms and Sanderson Farms said they did not use the drugs either and had lost business as a result. All three producers use feed containing ionophores, which are largely considered to be antibiotics. However, the substances are not used in humans and thus are not believed to raise human health concerns.
