UK poultry meat producers have stopped all antibiotic preventative treatments and the highest priority antibiotics that are critically important for humans are used only as a ‘last resort’ for chickens and turkeys. Between 2012 – 2019 there has been a 76% reduction in the use of antibiotics in the poultry industry.
If you are concerned about antibiotics being used in the poultry industry why not ask your supplier: have antibiotics been used in the rearing of my turkey?
