2. The EU is bringing in a ban on antibiotics - but at least one product - ionophores - will still be allowed. Therefore the EU ban is not 100% all antibiotics.
3. The UK is not going to implement the EU ban mentioned in point 2.
4. The US does not have a ban on all antibiotics, quite the opposite. Chickopedia: What Consumers Need to Know

"Even if a chicken is given antibiotics in the course of its life to treat or prevent disease, the bird must go through a withdrawal time before leaving the farm"
The chickens have to go 'Cold Turkey' before leaving the farm to ensure they are antibiotic free.Comment

Originally posted by WTFH View PostIf you don't care about the antibiotics that the US puts into its poultry, then why are you claiming they have banned them?
What I find amusing is when they peck my trousers, or when Ruby (one of the 4 new ones we rehomed last week) purrs after laying.
