據(jù)外媒報道,美國麥當(dāng)勞將逐步停止使用含人類抗生素雞肉。麥當(dāng)勞此舉可改變飼養(yǎng)人員的生產(chǎn)方式,可對抗“超級細菌”問題。 麥當(dāng)勞日前宣布,2年內(nèi)美國麥當(dāng)勞(McDonald's USA)的1萬4000個店面將停止購買人類抗生素飼養(yǎng)出來的雞肉。抗生素在人類醫(yī)學(xué)上地位十分重要,人們在家禽上過度使用抗生素恐降低它對人體疾病的效果。 部分原文報道如下: (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp's U.S. restaurants will gradually stop buying chicken raised with antibiotics vital to fighting human infections, the most aggressive step by a major food company to change chicken producers' practices in the fight against dangerous 'superbugs.' The world's biggest restaurant chain announced on Wednesday that within two years, McDonald's USA will only buy chickens raised without antibiotics that are important to human medicine. The concern is that the overuse of antibiotics for poultry may diminish their effectiveness in fighting disease in humans. McDonald's policy will begin at the hatchery, where chicks are sometimes injected with antibiotics while still in the shell. 原文鏈接:http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/04/us-usa-mcdonalds-antibiotics-idUSKBN0M01L520150304 |
