Mcdonald’s plans to cut the use of antibiotics in beef herds

The fast food chain Mcdonald’s announced it will cut the use of antibiotics important to human health in the cows that provide its beef, to help slow antibiotic resistance. The company said that it was working with beef suppliers in 10 countries to set goals by 2020 and begin reporting on reductions in 2022. These countries account for 85% of the beef used by Mcdonald’s in its 37,000 locations.
