'Overuse of antibiotics in the beef industry threatens our health, and fast-food companies need to do more,' says Matt Wellington, a co-author and antibiotics campaign director for the US PIRG Education Fund.
Arby's, Burger King and Jack in the Box received failing grades for having no policies for antibiotics in beef. Taco Bell and Wendy's earned Ds, due to what the report authors called insufficient plans to reduce antibiotic use.
"This is a key reason why so many restaurants offer nutrition and ingredient information and are increasingly sharing animal welfare and supply chain policies—including the responsible use of antibiotics important to animal and human health," he continued. McDonald's earned a C grade this year — up from an F in 2018 — for its recent commitment to"curtailing routine medically important antibiotic use across its vast global supply chain and set concrete reduction targets by the end of 2020," according to the report.
