The company said the antibiotics it plans to use in chicken production are not important to the treatment of humans. Tyson-branded chicken will begin using a “no antibiotics important to human medicine” label by the end of 2023. “But we want to make sure that antibiotics continue to work.”‘No antibiotics important to human medicine’Tyson’s elimination of some antibiotics followed similar reductions by competitors Pilgrim’s Pride, which says it uses some antibiotics, and Perdue, which still says it does not. In addition to chickens’ health, antibiotics are particularly important to promote growth in poultry for items like large broiler chickens. It noted in that 2007 publication that “an appropriate balance should be struck between animal health needs and human health considerations – human health being, however, paramount compared to animal health.”

Additionally, Cargill began marketing several plant-based protein ingredients, made from soy, pea and wheat, to food and beverage manufacturers worldwide. What to expect for plant-based meat in next decade Cargill's calculated approach to plant-based meats coincides with the nascent industry's trajectory. And then there's the consumer's appetite to pay a premium price for plant-based meat. So Cargill's biggest competition will be the established plant-based meat companies, like Beyond and Impossible, he said.
