Chick-fil-A changing its chicken sparks backlash
newsweek.com
Fast-food chain Chick-fil-A has sparked a social media backlash after announcing that it will soon allow certain antibiotics in the chickens it raises, citing supply issues.
Chick-fil-A restaurants in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico will transition "from chicken raised with No Antibiotics Ever (NAE) to chicken raised with No Antibiotics Important to Human Medicine (NAIHM), starting in the spring of 2024," the company said in a statement posted on its website this week.

"In a statement to Reuters, Chick-fil-A said the policy change was due to challenges it foresees finding chicken supplies that "meets our rigid standards.""
So, clearly, the solution is "lower your standards"? 🤔
If the other choice is make less money then it's obvious what corporations will do
taking care of their chickens is not lowering their standards, its raising them
I think that's the trick though, they aren't "their" chickens. They're buying them from 3rd party vendors.
If they wanted to be serious about quality, they'd set their own standards and raise their own chickens.
The in-n-out system. Most of their meat comes from their own farms and processing facilities.
This is also why they’ve expanded incredibly slowly compared to most fast food chains
Wawa as well. They have their own cows for their milk.
That god they don’t actually have to do that to have chicken standards.
