Court Orders Tyson to Suspend Ads For Antibiotic-Free Chicken

Poultry giant Tyson Foods has 14 days to dismantle a national multimillion dollar ad campaign centered on the claim that its chickens are raised without antibiotics, a federal appeals court in Richmond ruled yesterday.
Tyson, based in Springdale, Ark., will have to remove posters and brochures from 8,500 grocery stores nationwide.
"We're disappointed the motion for a stay has been denied and are evaluating our legal options," said Gary Mickelson, a spokesman for Tyson Foods. "We continue to believe we have acted responsibly in the way we have labeled and marketed our products and intend to stand our ground."

Good...talk about some false advertising!

Just goes to show we can't be sure what anyone is selling us. Or if we are going to get the right info in the media. We are all flying blind here.

Panera advertises antibiotic free chicken, although honestly I didn't know what that meant anyway.

I don't think they were trying to hide anything, article says as much. Without antibiotics who knows what the price of food would be. Jmho...mind you.
