KFC joins clean chicken club

YUM Brands’ US KFC chain plans to curb the use of antibiotics in its chicken supply, making it the last of the big three chicken restaurants to join the fight against the rise of dangerous antibioticresistant bacteria known as superbugs.

KFC, the second-biggest US chicken chain by sales after privately held Chickfil-A, is giving its US poultry suppliers until the end of 2018 to stop using antibiotics important to human medicine.
