Increase the cases of “diarrhea-explosive” in the U.S. because of the salads from Mcdonald’s
Mcdonald’s has announced its plans to r educ rad the use of antibiotics in your meat of beef , feeding the rumors that other restaurants will follow their example, as reported by The Guardian. This strategy is in line with the concerns that argue that the overuse of antibiotics in food affects the health of both people and animals.
“The position of Mcdonald s and the fact that it is the largest buyer of beef makes it enormously important,” said David Wallinga, health advisor for the group environmental Defense Council the Natural Resources, to The Guardian.
The company ensures that will measure the use of antibiotics in its ten largest markets , including the united States, and will provide targets for slow down its use to the end of 2020 . So, according to your policy, you can’t use antibiotics to the animals whose meat is used for their products to grow more, nor to prevent possible diseases routinely.
Mcdonald’s does not contemplate the rise of the prices of the burgers after this measure, though remember that there are franchises that set their own menu prices. the company has a great influence on the farming practices due to large size. Previously, it laid the basis for the removal of antibiotics in chicken meat . However, remove them from the calf is more difficult, according to experts say, because these animals live longer than the chickens and have more chances of contracting diseases.
This awareness occurs after the warnings from various health professionals and the adoption of a resolution at a General Assembly of the United Nations in September of 2016 that calls for a coordinated action to prevent misuse of these medications.
