The following report is by Food Dive:
The meat processor said in a statement that it will continue to sell antibiotic-free beef “based on market demand.” Tyson added that its commitment to antibiotic stewardship remains the same.
“Tyson Foods is dedicated to maintaining the health and welfare of the animals within our supply chain. We base our decisions on sound science and an evolving understanding of the best practices impacting our customers, consumers and the animals in our care,” the company said.
In a 2022 post on its website, Tyson noted that ranchers sourcing beef for its products “may use small amounts of FDA-approved growth promotants … to increase the rate of lean weight gain.”
Open Prairie, Tyson’s brand of all-natural meat products that previously sold antibiotic-free beef, no longer lists it as a product on its website. Open Prairie continues to offer pork.
During the past decade, the meat industry has distanced itself from a reliance on livestock raised with antibiotics as consumers have spoken out against the dangers of bacteria-resistant antibiotics. Meat raised without antibiotics is more expensive to produce, and it carries a higher price tag at the grocery store.
In 2017, Tyson announced it would eliminate antibiotics from its poultry supply chain. But signs that the company was changing course on that decision emerged last summer. Tyson removed the “no antibiotics ever” labels on some of its chicken products and reinstated the use of birds raised with the medicines.
Perdue Farms, one of Tyson’s biggest rivals in the chicken market, told Agriculture Dive last week it will remain dedicated to its antibiotic-free supply chain.
Meat products claiming to be antibiotic-free have faced intense scrutiny from public health officials for the accuracy of their labels. A study published in Science magazine in 2022 found 42% of feedyards with “Raised Without Antbiotics” certification contained at least one animal that tested positive for antibiotics.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
This news comes at a time when most Americans are struggling to sufficiently put food on the table whilst increasingly becoming aware as to just how badly toxic and poisonous America’s “food” is. Tyson, a company that totally embodies corporate greed and scumbaggery to the fullest, is going to be shoving more poison down people’s throats; though the legitimacy of no antibiotics were scrupulous already.

I again recommend readers try to network with local farmers who sell totally organic, pasture-raised meats and dairy to avoid all the toxicity.
3 John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
