A federal court in Richmond, VA ruled on Thursday that Tyson Foods must stop a multi-million dollar ad campaign that says it chickens are raised without “antibiotics.” Tyson now has 14 days to remove the ads nationwide.
The lawsuit was brought by Tyson’s competitors, Sanderson Farms and Perdue Farms.
Competitors sought an injunction against the ads which they said were misleading. None of the companies use the types of antiobiotics that can lead to drug resistance in humans.
