With the impending antibiotic-resistance crises, Pizza Hut has pledged to only serve chicken products free of human-relevant antibiotics by 2022. American fast food is notorious for their antibiotic-filled meat products and it’s good to see measures being taken to mitigate some of the damage.
In a necessary effort to help curb the antibiotic-resistance issue, Pizza Hut’s efforts to extend the human-relevant antibiotic-free chicken from only their pizzas to all their chicken products, must be praised even though KFC has committed to achieving the same goal by the end of this year.
