Tyson chicken products to be antibiotic-freePosted Jun 23rd 2007 12:31PM by Joanne LutynecFiled under: Farming, Business, Poultry, New Products, AmericaGood news for all you poultry lovers out there - Tyson Foods has announced that they will no longer use antibiotics to raise chicken that is sold fresh in stores. Almost half of their production facilities will be converted to produce the new antibiotic-free chicken products, and they are planning to launch a $70 million ad campaign to promote the hell out of it. Needless to say you can expect the price to go up, though the chief exec of Tyson has stated that the increase will be less than $1 a pound.The new product has already been shipped to some stores, and are now labeled as having no artificial ingredients.
