Antibiotic resistance is an increasingly serious health problem. Every year, at least 2 million Americans get sick and 23,000 die from antibiotic-resistant infections.  Two common foodborne pathogens, Campylobacter and Salmonella, account for one-fifth of those infections, according to CDC estimates.

Giving chickens antibiotics when they aren't even sick is helping create antibiotic-resistant “superbugs.” When these superbugs get into our food they can cause serious illnesses that are difficult to cure.

To get farms to change their practices, we need big restaurant chains like Kentucky Fried Chicken to stop serving food from animals fed a routine diet of antibiotics.

McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, Subway and many other chains have committed to stop serving chicken raised on antibiotics.

Please join the effort to keep antibiotics effective by sending the message below to the CEO of KFC, one of the country’s largest chicken purchasers.
