KFC to source broilers free of medically important antibiotics

Kentucky Fried Chicken says, by the end of 2018, all of its U.S. chicken purchases will be broilers raised without antibiotics important to human medicine. A release on KFC’s website says it’s the first U.S. fast food chain to extend an antibiotics commitment to its bone-in chicken.  KFC says it’s worked with 2,000 U.S. poultry farms to make the change.  The company calls it “Re-Colonelization,” which KFC says is its mission to return to Colonel Sanders’ standards.
